Chapter: Story 12: I Dream of a Promotion
Good News… the comic is NOT late.
Bad news, Robert hasn’t checked it yet. So colour corrections and grammar checking yet to come.
EDIT: Robert here. The fully edited comic is now up.
Lily body take it over then try your one last chance to save Neil Rodge and the world.
Jean better hurry then. If he takes too long to tell Neil the truth and Blue catches on, he might end Jean there within Lily. Since Blue created Lily, can’t he just destroy as well, with Jean in her, or just return Lily to her plant form?
Come on Jeanie you can do it. You got to be the cavalry, arriving just in the nick of time. Now where is that bugler? Done to the song, Jim Dandy to the Rescue.
Neil and Jeanie have made a strategic blunder in NOT bonding as Master and Genie.
Jeanie has tried to maintain her independence, and Neil has given it to her–and now he’s having trouble realizing that the woman sitting next to him is someone he doesn’t know.
i think Jeanie is beginning to understand that, in a roundabout way.
What is Neil doing with his hands? Or rather, not doing? He doesn’t seem to be moving.
Is Jean thinking of using “her” butt to communicate instead? Like with Morse Code or similar?
SOS…SOS
More like SOA
Save Our Asses
Jean, this is not the time for you to stare at the butt of a human looking plant who may or may not eating someone alive!
The Blue Djinn is getting too friendly with Neil, but, then he doesn’t know what kind of relationship the Neil really has with Jeanie either. Somebody mentioned that Neil is doing something with his hands, but, to me, it look like he just showing his nerviness or possibly he is just fig gifting, but, what bothering Neil then. I would indicate that Neil knows that somethings wrong, but, he probably afraid to tip his hand that he does know what going on.
Like even if Neil does know that there something wrong with Jeanie, it not like Neil could do something about it on his own. Like Jeanie is a Genie and if the two got into a fight, Neil would come out on the short end of battle and Neil know that too.
@Larry: “The Blue Djinn is getting too friendly with Neil, but, then he doesn’t know what kind of relationship the Neil really has with Jeanie either.”
Yuppers. Neil’s always been attracted to Jeanie–how not?–but, out of a false respect for the vanished Jean that he used to know, has been ignoring those urges.
Now Jeanie’s actions are reinforcing Neil’s very natural impulses. It’s easy for him to go along with them; it’s what he really wants.
That right, Neil hasn’t really express his opinion of Jeanie yet! We pretty much know what he thought of Jean turning into Jeanie right after it happened. He was trying to be very helpful to Jeanie like she was still a he or Jean his old high school friend. But, that was like over 9 months ago or so, people change and there ideas change too.
Not only do we have vanishing Jean, but, he being replace with a developing Jeanie.
Which means that we probably also have a sexually aroused Neil and with the Blue Djinn hitting on him, could let those desire out of the bottle as they say, which Neil obviously was try to keep contained, but, that could be a lost cause now. Because, Jeanie can spit fire and she starting to spit fire like real female sexual being now too.
It will definitely change Jeanie relationship to Neil to a more guy girl relationship and a master genie relationship. But, there still plenty of Jean left in Jeanie for many more episodes.
Has anyone notice that Jeanie wears a hat and the Blue Djinn doesn’t? May be…just may be Neil will catch on, if he can ever figure out the trolley schedule!
Yup, I noticed that as soon as we got to see Jeanie and Blue side by side a few pages ago. I wonder if Neil will ultimately catch that.
I figured that the Blue Djinn didn’t think having no hat would do tip Neil off, but remember when Jeannie was previous owned by that other guy, but when she returned to Neil, her clothes turned from white back into pink and red, except for her hat. and Yet Neil noticed that.
Can Jeanie just go to one of the genie lords in her ghost/see-through forum and say her body has been taken over by the Blue DJinn and say her master and master’s friend is in trouble by being killed by a man-eating-plant, like she did when she was getting training and she got separated from her body and talk to that Genie Lord that used his last bit of magic to turn into a cat and that genie could see and hear her even still when she was separated from her body
I don’t think Jeanie is really “there” in that ghostly view we see of her. Since we first saw it, I’ve assumed it’s just some sort of story-telling construct to show us, the audience, who is talking. Or maybe it’s a mental projection, since Blue Jeanie did seem to be addressing “ghost Jeanie” in that scene by the trolley stop.
That’s how I interpreted it too.
Jean’s easiest, go to, magic has been to TG men. A , horney/jealous, Natalie in the picture might cause Blue to lose all control of the situation.
@Bthillman: “Jean’s easiest, go to, magic has been to TG men.”
I’d say, rather, her most flamboyant and manipulative magic.
It’s all pretty easy for her, to the point where she’s done it without even noticing.
Mind, an appearance from Natalie isn’t a bad idea, if Jeanie is able in he current state. I don’t know about the horny/jealous part, but becoming Natalie would certainly signal to Neil that something’s amiss. And it would likely confuse the heck out of Blue.
It would also be a near certainty that Natalie would send them back because of it.
@He Who Abides: Jeanie is already aware that Blue does not want to be sent back to Haji, it would ruin his plans. That may ultimately be how Jeanie gets out of this mess because Haji will almost certainly detect Blue hiding in Jeanie’s body.
@mike – except that would likely mean Jean never sees Neil and her family again.
Natalie has almost become a separate and unique person, but still Jean’s master.
Can you speak that language, Jean?
That’s a good question. It’s part of what I’m pointing to when I say that Neil and Jeanie have erred in not allowing themselves to bond as Master and Genie.
Is anyone going to let Rouyaa out of her bottle?
If any one going to find Rouyaa or Miss Eden, it will probably be Neil, because, she his land lady and maybe Neil will be paying next month rent. But, that only a guess to who going to find Ms Eden and finally let her out of the bottle. The only question that I have is will she be a full size women or will she come out the size of Tom Thumb or the size of human thumb.
My guess is that when she comes out of the bottle she will be a restored genie. And more than able to kick Blue’s butt.
Even if she come out of the bottle as a Genie, she would be only marginally better off to deal with the Blue Djinn, because, didn’t restore her genie power, but, only restored her youth and she still doesn’t have a totem or bottle to operate from. Unless, that old wine bottle was some how transformed into a make shift totem for Rouyaa. Now that might work. Also Rouyaa would know more about the situation about Blue Djinn than Jeanie does and that might be helpful.
But, I am betting that we will either have a little Tom Thumb size or a big girl that regular size.
Perhaps Jeanie will use her magic to take over Lily’s body so she can speak to Neal. That’s what I see when I look at Jeanie staring at Lily’s tush
That’s a good idea! I like it. Lily doesn’t seem to have a very strong personality, and may not be able to resist a takeover, at least for a brief time, long enough for Jeanie to warn Neil.
Wait what if one of the lords did a check up on Jean then saw that the Blue DJinn took over her body? Then should the lords be able to take care of the Blue DJinn.
What to you think guys?
Do you think it could work?
Honestly, I’m not sure if even the lords can handle Big Blue. He’s shown himself capable of killing genies outright in multiple different ways. We have no idea if the genie lords can stand up to that kind of power.
Remember that when he broke out his prison, he killed on genie lord and laugh about it. Even Haji the most powerful genie other than the Blue Djinn would have a problem dealing with him. The question is, would it take two or more genie’s to take Blue Djinn down or does he have some weakness like Superman has with criptonite. We don’t know yet.
Lilly is going to be upset when she gets-if she gets back to the table. Neil ate his steak, Jeanie/Blue did not eat her steak and Lilly’s and Rodges plates are missing.
Nah, LIlly ordered the four steaks as appetizers.
Like Lita in Cheer, then?
Wait, are they in the Burger Barn???
No, Burger Barn’s don’t serve Sirloins steaks, which is what Lilly ordered, Burger Barn’s, they generally serve hamburgers only and some may serve chicken too.
@gary and Larry – they’d likely be at Kirby’s.
Correction-It was a chicken Caesar salad in number 038. I caught the ref to The Hotel California
They do have chicken salad sandwiches but what does deep fried lettuce really taste like.
Noticing Jean is behaving oddly is unfortunately a long way from figuring out WHY she’s behaving oddly.
…and frankly she’s been behaving pretty erratically since the first day he fell into a genie bottle, at least. It’s difficult to pin down a change in behavioral patterns when there’s hardly a pattern at all.
