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.
Jean’s plan to prove his point would be more convincing if it was showing someone other than “Jean” to be sleeping around. “He’s” already known for it by those women so how what difference would it make with one more?
I know, right? All those girls know that Jean sleeps around, so I doubt that would convince them of anything other than what they already know. Which is why I thought she would come back in various male forms and seduce them all in order to make his point, and well… sleep with them all again!
Logic is not his strong point!
So… what is he going to do now? Seduce Rodge while he looks like Jean? That would be kinda weird. Kinda vain as well!
The error with that idea is that Jean can’t change back into any male form as seen in past story arcs. That’s the whole reason for Rodge posing as Jean’s former self here.
I’m waiting for some guy named Mr. Lodge to mistake Jean for his daughter. Come to think of it, a character like Veronica’s dad is a logical choice for the actual owner of the magazine. Remember, the chief editor is still only an employee.
I realised a little too late that I could have done this as a little rhyme.
The magic is in Jeanie
But the hat is the key
For without the hat
The magic cannot be free.
🙂
Actually, the hat was used as an identifier so we would know who Jeanie was as she changed into other girls and nothing more. So this is the first time we are going to have to remember that Jeanie is masquerading as Veronica Lodge. Other than that, I don’t think that hat has any other purpose, but, I could be wrong.
Jeanie doesn’t think that far ahead and nor does she consider the consequences either. You guys are over figuring what Jeanie thinking and what she intends to do. Jeanie just does it and creates a big mess and then she has to figure out how to get out of the mess she just created.
So… we’re Archie now? Not a big fan of Archie to be honest. Though I’d be interested to see a jughead reference; having a character just eating burgers throughout breakfast.
Also if we’re doing references I hope we get an obligatory reference from:
* Save By The Bell
* Clarissa Explains It All
* Boy Meets World/Girl Meets World
* Sabrina the Teenage Witch
* Fullhouse (How has this one not happened yet!)
* CSI/NCIS/JAG/Hawaii 5-0/Miami Vice reference.
I think CD’s interest in classic TV shows doesn’t really extend to the 90s, so I’d be surprised if most of those show up. Except maybe Hawaii 5-0 or Miami Vice.
“Sabrina”, however, might fit in reasonably easily with the established themes and style of this comic, considering that we’ve already had a “Bewitched” crossover.
Sabrina would fit. The character actually started back in the 60s. The update was kinda nice in the 90s. And it was magically based, so that would tie in perfectly. Not to mention Barbara Eden made a few cameos on that show! Plus it had a talking cat! Nothing beats a talking cat! There could even be a good reference to Kazom!
The other shows there… not so much. No magic and no talking cats…
You missed Gilligan’s Island. It has been referenced, of course, as the first TV show Araceli sees, and causes her to put Neil on the rack in the Tower of London. It was also on at the same time as I Dream of Jeannie and it featured a beach, which is, of course, a perfect place to discover a genie’s bottle.
Other candidates:
*Knight Rider – Wonderful as it was, the General Lee didn’t talk.
*Magnum P.I. – Starring Tom Selleck’s magnificent mustache. More appropriate than either incarnation of Hawaii Five-O because it had quite a bit of comedy.
*Lost in Space – Again, exactly contemporary with the Barbara Eden series’ original run. The robot had most of the best lines.
*The Time Tunnel – Another Irwin Allen production, it also started in 1965. It only lasted one season and had no really memorable characters–but it fits the time travel theme and could be used to tie up the question everyone wants answered: What the heck were Neil and Jean doing here? It was the day Apollo 8 returned to Earth (first panel of the previous comic), December 27th, 1968, long before either Neil or Jean were born. (1968, not 1958. We could barely orbit small satellites in 1958, while the Russians could put up satellites the size of Lincoln Navigators, complete with a dog riding in one (although the dog, sadly, could not hang its head out of the window.))
Time Tunnel began in the 1966 season; we had the pilots for both TT and Star Trek as previews at the 1966 World SF Convention in Cleveland in ’66, before the ’66 TV season began.
Don’t forget the cult classic The Prisoner 1967 and of course the American TV knockoff of Bond by the name of Wild Wild West 1965. Could also throw in some classic Dr Who circa 1963
Bonanza 1960 onward
Get Smart 1965
My memory failed me. But after all, it was fifty-one years ago.
I don’t remember it recycling the same rubber monsters that often appeared on all of Irwin Allen’s other shows. Oh, I forgot Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. And Land of the Giants.
Yes, she can. It was explained back in the Dukes of Hazzard crossover that she simply forgets it’s there, which is why it tends to stay on when she changes her outfits.
Big question is will Jeanie go all the way. So far she has not even kissed a guy.
I have to say her plans are powered by her EGO and her EGO is a Idiot.
Yes, Jeanie is powered by her EGO and she doesn’t think thing through either or what the natural results should or would be if things continue until the end. What I would like to see, is Jeanie getting herself back into a corner and no where to go and now she looking for a way of escape from the mess she got herself into. Because, what ever she does, will have to be done in front of the other women to satisfy Jeanie claim that all guys sleep around. That could turn into a real problem of Jeanie.
CD always writes her a out but yes it would be nice to see her face the consequences of her actions for a change. Even if it is just sucking face with Roger.
No, Jeannie is actually in all three panels. It’s her younger self, in disguise, as it were, versus her current body. You’d need to go back and re-read the whole sequence to get the story, but the blonde in the crop top is actually Jeannie.
To be more pacific about it, that Rodge that masquerading as Jeanie old male self, because, Jeanie can’t transform into herself her old male image anymore, in the top five panel. That why she has enlisted Rodges help, because, she needs someone that look like her old self to do her bidding.
In the bottom four panel, that all Jeanie masquerading as Veronica Lodge.
Anyone else notice all of Jeanie’s “Great Plans” these days involve trying to get guys to sleep with her? I’m definitely starting to wonder what being geniefied is doing to her sexuality.
No, Jeanie isn’t interested in going to bed with any of the guys. Jeanie problem is, she doesn’t think through where this thing going to lead to and what she will have to do once she get there.
Actually, Jeanie isn’t doing it because she is sexually attracted to Rodge alas Jean or Neil either.
The issue here is that Jeanie is one vain person with EGO that won’t quit and nor does she want to take second place to anyone else. When ever her idea of who she was as a man is in question, like Belle telling Jeanie that Neil alas Jean was a better lover, it injured her pride and she goes off half cocked and was going to do something stupid. Now it Rodge turn alas Jean to defend her idea of who she was as a guy and she going to go off half cocked again and she does not considering what the end results will be, if she goes all the way through with this process.
Jeanie doesn’t have any “Great Plans”! Jeanie just blows the bugle charge and she go in. That how she get into most of messes that she get into.
Let’s be fair to Jean: The biggest mess he got into was when he was looking for a gift for Belle. And now we know he wasn’t really obsessed with genie bottles before he opened it, he just thought it looked just like the bottle in the show. Which, of course, it sort of did, because the prop was based on Rouyaa’s real bottle.
Of course, there are stories that Jeannie’s bottle in the show was actually an empty liquor bottle, but now we know the real story, don’t we?
Well… that is the danger of complete biological gender changing. Instead of having organs that create and disperse testosterone, you have organs that produce and disperse estrogen. Not to mention a brain that is wired as female instead of male. So there will be quite an effect. Not to mention your physique changes to a more feminine one, and one that you can feel at all times and with every movement. So there is bound to be psychological changes and adaptations as well.
It even happened to Ranma. Though a bit of that was learning how much easier it was to get free stuff such as food as a girl!
Instead of Veronica, Jean could of become Melody Valentine, of the Archie comic Josie and the Pussycats. Melody always had men tripping, walking into walls and telephone poles because they were so distracted by her stunning beauty. None of the other girls in the Pussycats or Archie caused men to go gaga in her presence to such a degree.
Though, Melody was a stunning blonde like Jean, possibly causing the target to become suspicious. So blondes like Melony or Sabrina are out, dark hair may be a better choice when you think of it.
Cheryl Blossom, Katy Keene and Trula Twyst are lesser known Archie femme fatale’s that aren’t blondes.
You have to remember, though, that this is RODGE that Jeannie is trying to fool. Just putting on a pair of sunglasses would probably do it. Less, if he’s been drinking.
Would be nice if there was a new installment, but…
Anyway, I noticed something I didn’t before: Jean called those other girls “hussies.” Now this is strange because who actually uses that pejorative in real life any more? Not a player like Jean thought of himself when he was a guy. In fact, can you remember any guy, even in old movies, calling a woman a “hussie”? Maybe, but I bet you had to think about it a bit.
Since all those “hussies” slept with Jean, he may be displaying a bigger double standard than I suspected before–because Jean certainly wasn’t happy about Belle kissing other guys, and light-years from happy when he found out Belle had slept with Neil.
But there are other possibilities, perhaps not mutually exclusive. First, if she’s doing Veronica Lodge, “hussie” is a term rich girl Veronica might have used back in the forties or fifties to describe other girls, particularly Betty Cooper. But second, it just might be an indication that Jeanie is beginning to experience female jealousy. Which would be even more nuts because it would make her jealous of the women who slept with her declared fiance–who is supposed to be herself.
I can actually think of a trope for this: Irma la Douce. This was a Sixties movie with Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacClaine. It’s about a French cop who falls in love with a prostitute, gets fired, becomes her pimp, becomes jealous of her customers, and comes up with a scheme to create a new role for himself, a rich client who hires her services exclusively. Of course, he’s not rich, so he practically works himself to death to come up with the cash. And besides getting tired of this, he gets jealous of himself! Well, it was a Billy Wilder film, the same who did Some Like It Hot and other movies with twisted premises.
Ding Dong, I think your beginning to catch on here. Jeanie is flipping between her male side and her female side here. There the male side that remembers sleeping with them and so she calls them ‘hussies”. The female side of Jeanie is also running wild too, so she also jealousy too and want to prove herself to the other girl, but, more importantly to her own self. This is going to make for a major screw up or create a major impact crater before this ends.
But, that what we come to expect from Jeanie and that why most of us read Jeanie in a Bottle.
I don’t think it has anything to do with gender and everything to do with Jean not thinking things through, which happens regardless if he’s male or female.
Luckily for Jean (Veronica) she can’t drink alcohol, remember what happened last time. I could see her getting drunk, the female side gaining control, then waking up the next morning in bed with you know who. Then she remembers what happened that night. But that’s not going to happen.
Its said that after 7 years you are a different person. As time goes on the male side will fade to a distant memory.
Actually, it wasn’t the alcohol that caused that – it was some unknown ingredient (or perhaps contaminant?) in the hooch. As she observed at the time, she had drunk alcohol on other occasions since being genie-fied, with no problems.
Clearly Willy’s white lightning suffers from some quality-control issues.
Hey, in a fit of anger she might turn Neil into Betty Cooper and Zap them into the Archie universe. Both spend some time as students at Riverdale High School, Neil (Betty) would suddenly get straight A’s in math and science, she does have an engineering degree.
Maybe Veronica has a magic duel with Sabrina the Teenage Witch too!
You mean turn Rodge into Betty Cooper, and I’m guessing Rodge/Betty wouldn’t get straight A’s without Natalie coaching him/her. A female version of Rodge is long overdue, though.
You know who would go for Rodge/Jean right now? That Greek guy Matt who got turned into a hot babe. Have you forgotten that she’s extremely rich now? She’d fit right into a high-class affair in New York City, the most cosmopolitan place in the United States. Even if she fails to get him, she could have a very interesting conversation with the Witches Three and perhaps Jeanie/Veronica as well.
This isn’t going to end well, is it?
Nope. I can foresee great disasters and “Jean” somehow come up as a changed man who finally matured, with his casanova image gone for good.
I will believe it when I see it!
Did Jean turn into Veronica Lodge?
It certainly looks like it.
You spotted that too?
I guess Jeannie passes the time in her bottle reading Archie comic books.
Or if she gets internet in her bottle, perhaps Eerie Cuties, Magic Chicks, or Dangerously Chloe.
Or, she’s watching Riverdale; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5420376/
I wonder if she will introduce herself as Veronica?
Ha! Nailed it! According to the poll, she is indeed disguised as Veronica Lodge. Cool!
Which probably means she’ll mess up and introduce herself as Betty.
Ah yes, mustn’t forget the hat!
Jean’s plan to prove his point would be more convincing if it was showing someone other than “Jean” to be sleeping around. “He’s” already known for it by those women so how what difference would it make with one more?
That’s a good point. It’s not like they know it’s Rodge in disguise. Jean’s plan is rather pointless.
Has that ever stopped Jean before? 😉
Logic is not Jeannie’s strong point. Nor subtlety.
I know, right? All those girls know that Jean sleeps around, so I doubt that would convince them of anything other than what they already know. Which is why I thought she would come back in various male forms and seduce them all in order to make his point, and well… sleep with them all again!

The error with that idea is that Jean can’t change back into any male form as seen in past story arcs. That’s the whole reason for Rodge posing as Jean’s former self here.
I meant as Rodge looks like Jean, and Jean as Veronica. Otherwise it would look like twincest!
Now where’s Betty
I’m waiting for some guy named Archie to hit on her.
I’m waiting for some guy named Mr. Lodge to mistake Jean for his daughter. Come to think of it, a character like Veronica’s dad is a logical choice for the actual owner of the magazine. Remember, the chief editor is still only an employee.
Now the secret of the hat will be revealed!
Is it the missing stopper?
Is the magic in the hat?
Tune in Same Jeannie time Same Jeannie channel.
The magic is in Jeanie
But the hat is the key, for without the hat the magic cannot be released.
I realised a little too late that I could have done this as a little rhyme.
The magic is in Jeanie
But the hat is the key
For without the hat
The magic cannot be free.
🙂
Actually, the hat was used as an identifier so we would know who Jeanie was as she changed into other girls and nothing more. So this is the first time we are going to have to remember that Jeanie is masquerading as Veronica Lodge. Other than that, I don’t think that hat has any other purpose, but, I could be wrong.
If Jean, in disguise, can’t seduce Rodge, she’ll have lost her bet. If Jean does seduce Rodge she could lose something else.
Considering they already know Jean sleeps around, sleeping with Rodge, who’s disguised as Jean, wouldn’t really prove anything.
It would just reinforce their view of Jean being a jerk that sleeps around.
I am hoping for seduction but I am a dirty old man.
Jeanie doesn’t think that far ahead and nor does she consider the consequences either. You guys are over figuring what Jeanie thinking and what she intends to do. Jeanie just does it and creates a big mess and then she has to figure out how to get out of the mess she just created.
And now Jean’s gonna do something irredeemably stupid, again.
So… we’re Archie now? Not a big fan of Archie to be honest. Though I’d be interested to see a jughead reference; having a character just eating burgers throughout breakfast.

The other shows there… not so much. No magic and no talking cats…
Definitely Sabrina, since we’ve opened the Archie can of worms. And that means we should also see an appearance by Josie and the Pussycats.

I don’t remember it recycling the same rubber monsters that often appeared on all of Irwin Allen’s other shows. Oh, I forgot Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. And Land of the Giants.
How do you feel about “My Mother the Car?”
Holding out for The Munsters or the Addams Family, myself.
Well, as Jean always says, when you find out that what you’re doing doesn’t work, just keep doing it.
Right?
Oh my god, she is a natural for politics
SHE CAN TAKE THE HAT OFF?!
(Head explodes)
Yes. She left it on because it kept her head from floating away.
Yeah that surprised me too!
Yes, she can. It was explained back in the Dukes of Hazzard crossover that she simply forgets it’s there, which is why it tends to stay on when she changes her outfits.
Oh! It’s Jean!
See, without Jean wearing the hat in the last panel, we’ve already confused Poor Robert N.
I just thought it was one of the women wandering in looking for “Jean” or Rodge or whoever the guy is right now…
Big question is will Jeanie go all the way. So far she has not even kissed a guy.
I have to say her plans are powered by her EGO and her EGO is a Idiot.
Yes, Jeanie is powered by her EGO and she doesn’t think thing through either or what the natural results should or would be if things continue until the end.

Well she kinda kissed a guy.
https://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-152
Not a guy a nerd lol. I forgot this happened.
In thwe first panel, you can see Jeanie,with the hat on, the 3rd panel doe not even have Jeanie in it.
@Amber:
No, Jeannie is actually in all three panels. It’s her younger self, in disguise, as it were, versus her current body. You’d need to go back and re-read the whole sequence to get the story, but the blonde in the crop top is actually Jeannie.

In the bottom four panel, that all Jeanie masquerading as Veronica Lodge.
@Larry
But that doesn’t help Jean, since the other woman already think Jean cheats and sleeps around.
Butch, your trying use logic with Jeanie, is a waste of time, because, Jeanie not logical.
Isn’t this narcissism at its finest? Seducing a guy that looks like your former male self to prove that he/you sleeps around.
part of me wonders if the hat is somehow very important?
I do too, but, as Robert says “she forgets that it’s there.” I sometimes wonder if it doesn’t have an SEP field on it, or something.
And this is going to ensue a lot of hilarity, isn’t it?
Well… I expected him to have a realization that he’s kind of a dick.
So Jeannie is going to try and seduce a guy who looks like her former self?
Dan DeCarlo is one of the all-time great cartoonists. His women are iconic, and that includes Betty and Veronica. Nice move.
Anyone else notice all of Jeanie’s “Great Plans” these days involve trying to get guys to sleep with her? I’m definitely starting to wonder what being geniefied is doing to her sexuality.
No, Jeanie isn’t interested in going to bed with any of the guys. Jeanie problem is, she doesn’t think through where this thing going to lead to and what she will have to do once she get there.
Actually, Jeanie isn’t doing it because she is sexually attracted to Rodge alas Jean or Neil either.
The issue here is that Jeanie is one vain person with EGO that won’t quit and nor does she want to take second place to anyone else. When ever her idea of who she was as a man is in question, like Belle telling Jeanie that Neil alas Jean was a better lover, it injured her pride and she goes off half cocked and was going to do something stupid.

Jeanie doesn’t have any “Great Plans”! Jeanie just blows the bugle charge and she go in. That how she get into most of messes that she get into.
Let’s be fair to Jean: The biggest mess he got into was when he was looking for a gift for Belle. And now we know he wasn’t really obsessed with genie bottles before he opened it, he just thought it looked just like the bottle in the show. Which, of course, it sort of did, because the prop was based on Rouyaa’s real bottle.
Of course, there are stories that Jeannie’s bottle in the show was actually an empty liquor bottle, but now we know the real story, don’t we?
Well… that is the danger of complete biological gender changing. Instead of having organs that create and disperse testosterone, you have organs that produce and disperse estrogen. Not to mention a brain that is wired as female instead of male. So there will be quite an effect. Not to mention your physique changes to a more feminine one, and one that you can feel at all times and with every movement. So there is bound to be psychological changes and adaptations as well.
It even happened to Ranma. Though a bit of that was learning how much easier it was to get free stuff such as food as a girl!
I don’t think that’s the case and sounds a little offensive, with all due respect.
Especially since Jean makes blunders like these regardless of weather he’s a man or a woman.
Instead of Veronica, Jean could of become Melody Valentine, of the Archie comic Josie and the Pussycats. Melody always had men tripping, walking into walls and telephone poles because they were so distracted by her stunning beauty. None of the other girls in the Pussycats or Archie caused men to go gaga in her presence to such a degree.
Though, Melody was a stunning blonde like Jean, possibly causing the target to become suspicious. So blondes like Melony or Sabrina are out, dark hair may be a better choice when you think of it.
Cheryl Blossom, Katy Keene and Trula Twyst are lesser known Archie femme fatale’s that aren’t blondes.
You have to remember, though, that this is RODGE that Jeannie is trying to fool. Just putting on a pair of sunglasses would probably do it. Less, if he’s been drinking.
Jeanie looks manic in that second last panel
Would be nice if there was a new installment, but…
Anyway, I noticed something I didn’t before: Jean called those other girls “hussies.” Now this is strange because who actually uses that pejorative in real life any more? Not a player like Jean thought of himself when he was a guy. In fact, can you remember any guy, even in old movies, calling a woman a “hussie”? Maybe, but I bet you had to think about it a bit.
Since all those “hussies” slept with Jean, he may be displaying a bigger double standard than I suspected before–because Jean certainly wasn’t happy about Belle kissing other guys, and light-years from happy when he found out Belle had slept with Neil.
But there are other possibilities, perhaps not mutually exclusive. First, if she’s doing Veronica Lodge, “hussie” is a term rich girl Veronica might have used back in the forties or fifties to describe other girls, particularly Betty Cooper. But second, it just might be an indication that Jeanie is beginning to experience female jealousy. Which would be even more nuts because it would make her jealous of the women who slept with her declared fiance–who is supposed to be herself.
I can actually think of a trope for this: Irma la Douce. This was a Sixties movie with Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacClaine. It’s about a French cop who falls in love with a prostitute, gets fired, becomes her pimp, becomes jealous of her customers, and comes up with a scheme to create a new role for himself, a rich client who hires her services exclusively. Of course, he’s not rich, so he practically works himself to death to come up with the cash. And besides getting tired of this, he gets jealous of himself! Well, it was a Billy Wilder film, the same who did Some Like It Hot and other movies with twisted premises.
Ding Dong, I think your beginning to catch on here. Jeanie is flipping between her male side and her female side here. There the male side that remembers sleeping with them and so she calls them ‘hussies”. The female side of Jeanie is also running wild too, so she also jealousy too and want to prove herself to the other girl, but, more importantly to her own self. This is going to make for a major screw up or create a major impact crater before this ends.
But, that what we come to expect from Jeanie and that why most of us read Jeanie in a Bottle.

Its said that after 7 years you are a different person. As time goes on the male side will fade to a distant memory.
A threshold is coming.
Actually, it wasn’t the alcohol that caused that – it was some unknown ingredient (or perhaps contaminant?) in the hooch. As she observed at the time, she had drunk alcohol on other occasions since being genie-fied, with no problems.
Clearly Willy’s white lightning suffers from some quality-control issues.
Hey, in a fit of anger she might turn Neil into Betty Cooper and Zap them into the Archie universe. Both spend some time as students at Riverdale High School, Neil (Betty) would suddenly get straight A’s in math and science, she does have an engineering degree.
Maybe Veronica has a magic duel with Sabrina the Teenage Witch too!
You mean turn Rodge into Betty Cooper, and I’m guessing Rodge/Betty wouldn’t get straight A’s without Natalie coaching him/her. A female version of Rodge is long overdue, though.
You know who would go for Rodge/Jean right now? That Greek guy Matt who got turned into a hot babe. Have you forgotten that she’s extremely rich now? She’d fit right into a high-class affair in New York City, the most cosmopolitan place in the United States. Even if she fails to get him, she could have a very interesting conversation with the Witches Three and perhaps Jeanie/Veronica as well.
Come now, Tom: A rich Greek shipping tycoon romancing an American heiress? Hm… somehow, that seems vaguely familiar… 😉
Remember Jackie Kennedy former first lady marred Onases a Greek Shipping magnate of several billions of dollars net worth.
