Jean AKA Jeannie AKA Jeanie is a film, book, and magazine reviewer for a national magazine. Most of Jean’s work is done through email, which means he doesn't have to go into the office.
On a trip to find a gift for his girlfriend, Jean found an empty Genie Bottle. Upon picking up this bottle, Jean became the bottle’s new genie-powered occupant. Not only was Jean turned into a genie, but the bottle turned him into what he believed a genie of the bottle should look like. Which, due to his fascination with a classic 60s TV show, turned him into a busty blonde woman.
Hogg seems to have gotten over the initial shock very quickly. Do weird things happen that often in Hazzard county? Also, Jean looks really cute in panel two.
No, it’s reasonable for her to think that could be Neil. The last time she saw him, he was being magically transformed into random shapes every few seconds.
That’s a really good point! But it’s probably been at least 12 hours since the transformations stopped, since they had to get to Georgia by bus. Neil would have been complaining about this if he’d been stuck in such a body that whole time.
Also we don’t really know how long a genie might take to recuperate, untold years of sleep for the magic to readjust itself isn’t that far of a leap in logic, at least to me.
She’ll make Boss Hogg look like Neil, he’ll figure out she’s a genie, and use her powers for Bad Things. The Boss will have to make rhe real Neil look like someone else.
It look like Boss Hogs is still trying to figure out what happening, but I have confidence that he will make good use of his three wishes, which he has coming and I am sure that it will be real good too. Now if Boss Hogs tries to use Jeanie like those Greek Sailor tried to use Jeanie, then things might get real interesting as to what happens next.
Totem Possession – Whomever possesses a Genie’s totem is the Genie’s master. A Genie must follow the 3 Wishes law for new masters.
But: Genie Containment – After a Genie has been locked up/contained for a full moon, the Genie no longer belongs to their master. Whoever releases them will become their new master.
Other entries reinforce the impression that anyone who possesses the totem is the genie’s master for three wishes, so I’m confused.
Edit: Hm, maybe being locked up in the totem for a month breaks the 3 Wishes rule? Use your genie or lose her?
I’ve said it before genies get screwed over if all it takes to break the sacrifice power to stay with the master you love is having someone steal the totem.
Bah phone screwing up cost me a chance to edit my post. Boss Hogg has Jeanies totem so she has to grant him 3 wishes but according to the info pages since she chose to stay with Neil she’s bound to him as long as he desires her. Nothing there about the totem being stolen or even confinement breaking that bound. So what happens afters Hog’s wishes does she go back to Neil rather than a random location?
A Genie has limited powers to stay with the master of there choice and not be forces to stay a Master they don’t want to stay with. But, they can really mess up a new master if they don’t want to be permanently attach to them after they grant them there three wishes. So I suggest that Boss Hogs do clean get his three wishes and then let Jeanie go, but, I don’t think Boss Hogs is going to lesson to me. So I expect that all kinds of crap is going to break loose and anything might happen.
You know, B.H. could use one wish to ask for a rich and
beautiful wife and that Greek ship captain and adopted
daughter could get American citizenship…
Well, everyone has an opinion and they have there. If it does anything at all, it will give this Webcomic free advertisement and other people who might not know about this comic might take a look at it and make there own evaluation of whether they like it or not. But, no mater what ever there opinion is, it not going to change my opinion of this comic.
And I think this one of the better Webcomic at there. But, that just my opinion and other people have there.
The writer of the article is clearly just not in the intended demographic for this comic. I’m kindof surprised he read all the way through IDoJB to be able to write such a long and in-depth review, considering how much he clearly disliked it from the start.
Bad Webcomic comes down to “haters gonna hate”. Scientific studies such as from The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology show that some people are predisposed to hate, its a personality trait. Just ignore them, its a form of bullying.
Lots of popular and established comics would of been a target of Bad Webcomics if they had started out as online strips.
I suspect Doonesbury, The Wizard of Id even Peanuts would of been targets in their early days before they took of.
hahaha xD
Well there is no way Boss Hogg could that that badly. It is too bad she seems to have stopped as a few nice sneezes would have likely done the trick.
It would funny she tries to help “Neil” and changes Boss Hogg into Neil.
Or Natalie, roofed back to that strip club.

Reminds me of that scene from Aladdin where Genie first meet Jafar
Wonder if the Mob Boss tries to use this to his advantage.
Boss is going to play along i think. He’s no dummy a genie is a horrible thing to waste.
So how long does she think she was in that bottle?
I do not think his brain has caught up with the idea yet.
No, it’s reasonable for her to think that could be Neil. The last time she saw him, he was being magically transformed into random shapes every few seconds.

Just another day in Hazzard County.
Boss Hogg doesn’t look surprised.
Doesn’t he believe she’s a genie?
Does weird stuff happen there every day?
See what happens when you supersizes at your local fast food place.

I forgot about the Greek sailors. I thought from the information page that a month had to elapse before a new master could take control.
Regardless, Jeanie’s not at much risk here.
I don’t think Hogg can fool Jeanie into thinking he’s Neil. Neither Neil nor Hogg could remotely pass for each other, regardless of meatsuit.
And the first time Hogg tries to get Jeanie to do something underhanded, the jig will be up. She’s thick, but not that thick.
Ah, checked the info page again. Minor conflict:
Totem Possession – Whomever possesses a Genie’s totem is the Genie’s master. A Genie must follow the 3 Wishes law for new masters.

Of course Jeannie can do the ‘purposely misinterpret the wishes’ thing.
“I prefer the terms mature and pleasingly plump, ma’am”

It’s a win/win/win!
But that sounds out of character.
I thing Boss Hogg is already married to The sheriff’s sister. Lulu.
Hey, this is probably not the place, but Sailor sun is down. Any idea when that will be fixed?
If you need to contact CDRudd about something like that, his email address is webmaster_mk@sailorsun.org
Works for me.
lol
It’d be funny if she just turns him into neil
I don’t mean to be a downer, but… The Bad Webcomic Wiki’s about to post a review of this sometime in the next 2 days…
Well, everyone has an opinion and they have there.

Most webcomics have an entry on the bad webcomics wiki.
At worst it will be insulting at best it will show the author where he can improve.
When is the next update? I’m going into withdrawal!
Assuming CD gets over his cold soon, you can expect a new comic on Tuesday.
