Jeanie Bottle 544
Uh oh… What’s Blue up to now?? I mean, besides looking super hot in that pink croptop.
EDIT: Blue’s eyes are, in fact, supposed to be blue. This has been fixed.

Looking good Blue Djiin. Melvin Chronicles in the Jeanie Bottle timeline wherebis it currently located at before the dukes or after but before New York trip?
Complicate question. Until further development, I can’t reveal much, but the timeline at MC isn’t far apart from the current events at JB.
Thank you.
Blue can sleep in the Bed?!
Why is that so surprising?
Because the Bed is not inside the bottle. For Jeanie, the fact that she can’t fall asleep without returning to the inside of her bottle is kind of a huge deal.
Since Blue, a powerful genie who is well verse in using Genie Magic, is able do stuff without being send back in the bottle?
I had the same question when I first saw this page!
It would be funny if Blue ended up inside Jeannie bottle while sleeping. That way, the others can easily seal him up.
I didn’t think Blue had good taste in normal clothes. I guess a bit of Jean still exist inside that body, or he is just trying to keep up act of being “normal” to certain genies so he won’t arouse suspicion.
Also aren’t Blue’s eyes supposed to be…..blue?
So are Jeneie’s eyes, though a lighter tone of Blue. But the Blue eye thing was mostly done to let readers know who was in charge at any given moment. Now that Blue is the only one at home, I guess is no longer necessary.
As a side note, all the characters have canon eye colors, but we usually just get to see them on the special pictures.
I see. It was hard to tell.
But once Jeannie and Blue met once more, are they going back to the whole “Different Eye Color” to tell who is who?
Good point about the eyes. I’ve asked CD if he wants to keep using that visual effect, as I’m not sure if it’s necessarily needed any more. Previously, it was to indicate when Blue was in control of Jeanie’s body. But that’s not exactly Jeanie’s body any more…
I notice she is wearing BLUE cap!
Yup! I believe that’s a feature of her blue harem outfit, which she gave herself a while back.
And hot damn blue is making Jean looking GOOD!!!
Is it wrong for me not to feel about what’s to come to Guano. I know he isn’t evil or anything, but he has been a total jerk to not just Jeanie, but Neil as well.
Karma.
Unless Guano notices the blue hat first
The blue djinn definitely looks hot, especially in panel 2 with her butt sticking out like that.
Though it does make me wonder if Blue will ever get his original body back…
…Or is he able to change Jeanie’s body to look like his old one?
Maybe he can change it, but it may be a waste of energy for him. According to Kazom, even if a genie masters the power to change their shape completely to some extreme degrees, their core form will always be their real form. Knowing that Jeanie’s core form is this one, it may not be a real point on trying to change it to anything else, if it means it’s going to be a constant effort.
Carlos is right about changing Jeanie body back into something that looks more like his body and away from Jeanie’s core form.
That he won’t be doing, because, of what Carlos has said or referred to of what Kazom has told Jeanie in the past.
However, it doesn’t mean that the Blue Djinn can’t do an end run, by getting Jeanie pregnant and have a male baby, because, he still has that red light looking thing that suppose to represent a new life force or new Genie.
I am surprised that somebody hasn’t knotted it yet or has made any comment on it, because, Blue is holding it in her hands in panel #4.
So, reading heavily into the backstory, Guano is basically a Gilligan caliber idiot who defeated Blue either by an Inspector Clouseau style accident or Gilligan style by pulling something no one would half a brain would even think of doing that somehow worked, probably because it was so unexpected. He acts like such a pompous jerk because he’s still following Rouyaa’s advice that a Genie Lord is always forceful and commanding and doesn’t have the brains or the competence to back that up.
So… will it work again? Probably not. Will Guano be humiliated? Probably yes… How will this help our heroes? Who knows? But it will be fun to watch.
Yup! I’m looking forward to Guano getting taken down a peg or three.
Ah Guano, you never fail to meet our expectations – even your warnings are disastrously late. How can someone be such a loser but still think so highly of himself? (I use the term loser scarcely, but he really doesn’t have a single thing going for him aside from his false reputation)
So, anyone think that Jeanie’s bottle up in the title bar bouncing, and Jean’s concerned look at it mean anything? Or has that alreadybeen commented on and I’m just now noticing it?
That has been the default image for a very long time. I always figured it was showing Jeanie’s love/hate relationship with it.
I don’t think the animation is supposed to be jerking like that. But CD wrote that bit of code, so I have no idea how it works.
The problem is (likely) that the spot for the image isn’t the same size as the image animation.
The space is 254×149 pixels, and the image that’s put in is a 10747×170 pixel animation made up of 39 steps/pictures. So, each step is 273 pixels wide (10747/39).
You browser will decide what is done when a too-big image is displayed in a too-small box, but it looks like most of them end up causing jerky animation.
Typo not caught… 10647×170, not 10747×170
I don’t remember it having that push on the smoke at the end, and CD liked the bobbing up and down awhile back and Decided to keep it.
But the smoke coming from the bottle was always very even, and only fluctuated like smoke would while escaping a bottle, now there is an obvious push on it right at the end. Course I may have just missed that before, jean’s look of concern does make me wonder.
Seeing as how Jeanie is holding the (I can’t remember the name) that allows for the creation of a new genie when two genies procreate, I can’t help but wonder if Big Blue is planning to seduce Guano. I’ve always figured that was BB’s plan all along when Jeanie stole the thing from the vault, to create a new more powerful body for himself. After all, the other ‘youngest’ genie that accompanied Jeanie into the vault said a natural born genie was more powerful than a human turned into a genie by a totem.
… somehow I think what Blue plans to do will be less pleasant than seduction to Guano …
It’s called a Hubun Jadid.
Lord Guano! It a trap! RUN! RUN!
A Male Genie and Female Genie and the Red Light Thingy in Jeanie hands that represents a possible new Genie. I wander what the Blue Djinn has in mind here?
It going to be interesting what ever it is. But, Lord Guano in for a big surprise.
I sure have no confidence in Lord Guano in any fight with Blue. After all, we’ve all seen him in action.
Yes, you and me both when it comes to Lord Guano fighting the Blue Djinn.
Me thinks that Lord Guano a paper Tiger, but, we will see. Who knows, he might surprise us, I don’t think so. But, it Lord Guano time to meet the Blue Djinn now.
My confidence is also very low–and yet, he IS Lord Guano, and has survived, even advanced, for many decades, possibly even centuries, in a Court that is not without intrigue. He should not be dismissed lightly, which is exactly the error Blue seems likely to make. Of course, Guano himself is prone to the same error, acting imprudently on bad assumptions.These two may be evenly matched, putting the outcome of any fight up for grabs. And, Guano doesn’t have to defeat Blue in this encounter–he only needs to recognize him and get away.
@50srefugee Thing with Guano is that he seem to have luck his way into that Court. He seemed to be some sort of errand boy back in the 60´s, when after allegedly defeating Blue (something he doesn’t want to talk about, and even Kazom has no idea how he manage to pull that off), he was sent to be Kazom’s pupil, in the road to be a Lord, and again, this was back in the 60’s, we don’t even know how long he has been a Lord, and quick note, even though I can’t confirm this (I honestly don’t know) IF Guano got his tittle after Kazom loss his place as a Lord, that would mean that Guano has been a lord for only 7 years.
So yeah, between how dubious his legend as a “hero” seems to be, and how short lived his career as a Lord has been (at BEST it has been close to 40 years, very much nothing in Genie time, at worst just seven), I don’t have high hopes for Guano on this one.
Also according to Kazom, Guano is somewhat kind of a chicken and has no balls to speak of. When booth Thomas Clark and Kazom were dealing with The Blue Djinn, Guano cut run and left them high and dry and was probably the reason the Thomas Clark had to make the supreme sacrifice to give his life. That is one of the reasons that Kazom doesn’t like Guano, because, he considered Thomas Clark his friend. There is also some indication that it was Guano that replaced Kazom as the New Genie Lord too. So there is some really bad blood between these two.
@Larry Again, I have to remind you all, Kazom had NO involvement on Blue’s ultimate defeat. As far as Kazon and every other genie is knows (and as hard it’s to believe for some of them), Blue was defeated by a young Guano back in the 60s.
Kazom and Thomas were dealing with a secret coven of Witches looking for “the power of the Djinn”, which lead to Thomas sacrifice and Kazom demotion as a Lord, but that was merely 7 years or so ago. Long after Blue’s ultimate defeat
@Carlos: ” I don’t have high hopes for Guano on this one.” Not even I want to see Guano be the hero here. And as noted, he has his own blind spot. I’ll be surprised if he even manages to escape, but I can’t discount the possibility.
There may be something of the Peter Principle in operation here: Guano has risen beyond his competence, which might help explain his rather pathetic volatility.
Blue, though, seems actively malignant.
i see why they cannot go back to the apartment now
I see why they should be VERY CAUTIOUS about going back to the apartment. They need a plan; they can’t just go busting in. Even then, it would be risky.
But then, confronting Blue anywhere, in any fashion, is just about the textbook example of risk–and doing so despite the risk is true courage.
C’mon, Neil. Show us, and Jeanie, your spine, and your balls. Play the mouse, but go for the throat.
Or play the (miniaturized giant space) hamster, and Go for the eyes!
Just something I keep wondering about. Where is the Blue Djiin’s body? Not Jeannie but his real one.
Bat poop is going to become a papa
That would explain panel 4 in #542. Bat Poop seduces Jeannie/Blue Djinn and is bonded to her with the Hubun Jadid. Gauno replaces Haji and The Blue Djinn becomes the Queen of the genies. Of course that means that Jeannie also becomes Aracli’s aunt.
Huh, that’s a good point. But why in the world would Blue want to do that? I mean, being Guano, of all people’s, wife?
Maybe he plans to make it temporary, and kill Guano when he can do it clandestinely.
Guano is probably easy to manipulate, if I had to guess at why Blue is choosing him as the pawn for his become queen of genies plan.
The king rules the kingdom. The queen rules the king.
Is this some genie joke that I am too human to understand.
The Blue Djinn has definitely read the Owners Manual (hell, he probably wrote it.)
Not sure about the seduce thing – he’s calling that thing his “pawn”. I’m not getting any seduce vibes here.
My point is – we have no idea what the BD can do – he is *way* ahead of us…
