Chapter: Story 11: I Dream of an Escape
That’s totally not fair, Kazom. I sometimes doubt she could even handle a chapter.
Welcome to

That’s totally not fair, Kazom. I sometimes doubt she could even handle a chapter.
Or the attention span to read a pamphlet much less a book.
Ironically Kazom, she happens to be a well-known publisher.
I think it’s more of a review writer. Writing articles of criticism about others’ works mostly so “she” has to be able to read books to some extent.
I think I had that background as a screensaver way back in the early 90s.
It reminds me “Wolfenstain 3D”
Must have been the mid 90s. It was a Windows 95 screensaver, and that didn’t come out until, um, 1995.
Look at what her harem pants’ belt looks like, everyone. It’s Jehane, not Jean! Of course, Kazom probably couldn’t tell that; he’d only known Jean for roughly one day, much less observe specific fashion details of “her” clothes.
I think you are right about that being Jehane.
Oh wow, I didn’t even notice that while I was editing this page. Good catch!
I put up a reply which either didn’t go through or didn’t get approved. In case it doesn’t to up, I now think this is Jehane.
Despite the disappearing navels I chronicled in that posting, Jehane’s belt is different than Jean’s (Jean’s belt is sort of V-shaped where Jehan’s runs straight across her hips.
Yep, I am going to say that that Jehan too. However Jeanie is also out there running around too, so Kazom could turn around and see another person that look like Jeanie there too and probably will too.
Right, it’s the first thing I checked.
Of course, Kazom isn’t one to be fooled by appearances; he knows perfectly well that there are multiple genies that look alike – hell, HE’S the one that told Jeannie that, to start with. So although he might think it’s Jeannie at first, I’m sure that an instant’s conversation will make it clear that it’s Jehane, instead. That is, if he doesn’t use magic to figure it out even sooner.
I’m pretty sure it’s the Blue Jeanie. He’s possessed her somehow and she’s not aware of it.
It’s the Blue Djinn, correct title-wise.
One of the oddities of this story line is that Jeanie’s behavior doesn’t change much when possessed by Bluie. She’d just act like that naturally.
And the blue is gone from Jeannie’s eyes…..OH WAIT!
Costume difference indicates that’s Jehane, and not Jeanie.
[Imagines the slave force required to keep all those wall torches fresh if they’re the traditional twigs or rushes dipped in tallow, or whatever. Also, smoke! Arghcoffcoffcoff]
Genies. Magical, smoke-free, everburning torches.
Meh. They’re probably fake decorator torches fed by efficient, clean burning Natural Gas ™–or worse, electric lamps with blown-glass “flames”. I hate fake decorator accessories–a distaste fed by the sports car I once rode in which had a dashboard studded with molded in allen-head bolts, as if all the instruments could be removed, like an airplane control panel.
I mean, why waste magic when obvious tech is available?
Re: 50srefugee:
I can just see the genie purchasing department now, ordering fake LED torches on Amazon, using Haji’s credit card…
Note the conical shape of the “torches”–they look to me more like they are some sort of oil lamps shaped to resemble torches. Oil lamps would burn cleaner than actual wooden torches, and would only need to be refilled once a day.
Hey, Kazom has Jeannie figured out. He totally nailed it!
And her eyes are back to being black, again.
Check the outfit. It’s Jehane, not Jeanie.
I think you’re right. The difference is subtle, but reasonably consistent in the panels where it’s visible.
Finally, someone with a fully functional brain has entered the equation. 🙂
Fully functional, yes, and highly informed, but slightly obsessed.
Beats the alternatives, which range on the themes of narcissistic, naïve, fully obsessed, pompous and blind to current events. 😉
Meanwhile back at the changing room…
A possibility that Kazom didn’t consider is that this is Jeanie, who could easily blunder into the Forbidden Library through the Hidden Pathways of the Mazy Halls of Delusion via the Forgotten Door located in the Chamber of Doom behind the Idols of Enchanted Guardians, and once she got there she’d ignore the priceless Aged Wisdome Grimoire in favor of a stash of Dr. Strange comic books left by the janitor, which she would then read while sitting on the Hideous Font of Cosmic Knowledge, having mistaken it for a toilet.
Good thing she doesn’t know from bidets; there are places that even Cosmic Knowledge daren’t trespass. Too bad for the pages of Aged Wisdom, though.
ROTFLMAO !!!
Maybe if the book had a lot of pictures…
The current Pibgorn arc has just had one of its protagonists changed into a Jeanie.

Why do I feel its her doppelganger cause if you guys remember Jeannie’s belly button is exposed while her doppelganger is covered.
So I firmly believe this is not Jeannie but Jeannie #2 .
What’s more, the waistband of her pants is consistently different. Jehane (the doppelganger) has a white lace border around the cutouts on the waist. Jeannie doesn’t, and the cutouts are more pointed than oval.
I think Jehane’s costume is more accurate than Jeannie’s. Probably because she paid more attention to the clothing, so her memory of it was sharper. Jean was, no doubt, mostly focused on the cup size.
@Someguy: Actually, if you look at Panels 3 & 4 of JB #451, (https://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-451) you can see that BOTH Jeannie and Jehane have exposed navels. It’s just that that’s not always evident in every panel. Artistic license.
But the waistbands on the pants are different.
Of course Jeanie has the attention span to read books. She still writes book and movie reviews.
Ah yes, the Forbidden Library. Which, of course, is forbidden–only the high-ranking Genies have authorization to enter it unescorted, so she’ll have to be careful to avoid being caught . . .
