The Blue Djinn is an evil genie who was apparently defeated by Lord Guano in the past. But now he's back, and he's angling to take down the Genie Lords... but how does Jeanie factor into his plans?
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.
1. Awesome! Two updates!
2. Sucks to be the Blue Djinn. Hopefully this siccs the ghosts of her victims on her too.
3. Hopefully this whole mess imparts some more humility to Jean. Be a real shame to just go back to business as usual.
4. If this doesn’t cancel the binding with Guano, is Jean still bound to him through the Hubdun Jadid? That could be messy.
As far your third thought, It would be nice for Jeanie to change a little bit for the better, but, not too much, because, this entire series revolve around her and what she does. So we don’t want her changing too much right away or until we get close to the end of the Jeanie Bottle Series. I am thinking of, the Jeanie in a Bottle TV Series, when Jeanie married Anthony, then everybody knew that the TV Series was coming to an end fairly soon. It actually ended the nest year. It would be that way here, if Jeanie changes too much, it would basically be signalling the coming end of this series here too. It might go for a little while longer like TV Series did, but, yes, it going to be coming to a close soon afterward or at least it starting to whined down process to it eventual conclusions.
As far as your forth question: We don’t know yet. But, that is one of two possibilities, where everything is reset to the way it was before The Blue Djinn step out onto the scene and now continue with the rest of this series.
The other option and next possible Arc would be to have both Jeanie and Neil on a Mission clean up detail to unravel this mess and do it without it getting too messy too. Like Jeanie having to take Guano to Haji to have this Hubdun Jadid agreement annulled.
We are waiting to find out which way CD Rudd intend to take this series, but, I personally would like the second option of these two choices.
Adultery! Blue is already married to Guano, remember? Unless the Hubun Jahid goes with the body, which would make *Jean* married to Guano. Don’t forget that Jean’s human body was marked as her Genie body’s slave… wonder how the transfer affected that? I predict embarrassments galore in the near future. Especially if Guano has to sweet-talk Jean into bearing his children…which may actually work, as I suspect he’s adorably dorky behind the jerkass front he puts up to hide his insecurity. It may take centuries, but they’ve got centuries.
I also suspect CD has a thing for gender bent characters who somehow rise to the sudden challenge of motherhood.
Kudos to CD for drawing an actual hollow wall, 2x4s and all.
I am a bit nervous about the way the studs are cleanly sheared off, not broken. Magic explosions are weird.
I wonder if CD Rudd going to do a reset and everything go back to the way it was before the Blue Djinn took over Jeanie Body or if Jeanie is going to have to clear this mess up Personally, I would like to see Jeanie have to clear mess with Neil in tow fix everything that the Blue Djinn did. I think it would be a nice follow through on this story.
Jeanie will act in her own self interest as always, but “clueless or thoughtless character learns lesson in empathy” is one of the classic sitcom story arcs.
Okay Jean use your magic and show Blue why you don’t mess with you and a body swap back so that’s how you use the all powerful lantern. And to quote Beetle Juice Its Showtime!
So, the question in my mind is; does Jeanie now have all the power that Big Blue had accumulated into her body? If so, look out! If Jeanie’s total lack of concern and caution was dangerous before, this could be epic.
Yup! CD did a masterful misdirect in panel 2, making it unclear that Blue was now in Jeanie’s human body. It makes the page a bit confusing on first read, but that’s kind of the point.
If Jean IS still married to Gauno BUT has all the majic power of the blue djinn maybe it’s a way to get the necessary magic and responsiblity lessons, while at the same time having enough leverage to not be treated like an ass.
Interesting thought… Blue seems to have had access to Jeanie’s consciousness, perhaps Jeanie also has access to what Blue did while controlling her body. Short of the mice, she would know what happened to the two dog-men, Rouyaa, Asha, Araceli and, more importantly, Lord Guano. With that knowledge she might fix things, although getting out of a magically blessed marriage is going to be a problem.
Jeanie and the Blue Djinn have had partial memories of each other mind and they shared experience and there existence together too. But, they are terribly incomplete memories, with many fact and detail in both there memories either missing, corrupted or otherwise.
My best, guess is:
That most of this key information should have been picked up or alluded to at this point so that this story can continue this way. Maybe.
@mike – I like your idea about Jeanie having Blue’s memories because how else will she be able to reverse all the damage Blue did by changing people into animals?
Who knows? Maybe she could even recreate Lily (but with different dietary needs!)
I’m surprised that the big explosion of chaos magic caused barely any changes. Unless there are some effects outside the frame. Quick, check if Moon is ok!
Except that Jeanie is (was) a genie and this body swap is just making things right again (for her). Now, Blue being inside a human body… well, that’s just karma.
I think it’s more that Jeanie just used the Quat Euzma to do something that I’m sure genie-kind has never seen before. “Setting things right” or no, if a different human had done that, this might very well have happened.
“human swapping bodies with a genie would make genie-kind freak the fuck out”
That is if they actually believe it happened.
Jean could be about to be punished for “being Blue”.
I sure hope Jean isn’t confused for the Blue Djinn by certain genies of authority.
If there’s no intervention Blue Djinn’s about to face a certain someone’s fury.
How much trouble do you think Jean is gonna be in for letting Blue take over his body and causing the deaths of many genies cause I think there not gonna really let Jean go unpunished since another genie (The genie being Jeanie from germany) was punished for a false crime. Jean is in a lot of trouble that no one has talked about yet.
If I had to come with a prediction. Blue is going to become a new permanent character of the group, as the unpowerful human female clone-twin of Jeannie.
Coming up next. Blue trying to get a job so she can pay for food and board.
There’s more. Remember how the Blue Djinn but what was essentially a slave brand on Jean’s body? Well know the Blue Djinn is in said body. Can you say “hoisted by their own petard”
Yes Blue belongs to Jeannie now, but can’t we call her something a little more feminine? Like Lavender? That is what the Rule63 version of Dickfigure’ss Blue were called.
@Alistir: There’s another Lavender with a more direct link to this webcomic. I speak of Lavender the personal assistant and girlfriend of FBI wizard and Head of Paranormal Diplomacy Edward Verres from El Goonish Shive. He has a son named Tedd, and Tedd has a girlfriend named Grace, who Jeanie once poofed in for a cameo in I Dream of a Nerd
Wow, they switched places!
I wonder if Jeanie will have a problem explaining she wasn’t the one who did all of this.
Also I wonder if Jeanie is now going to default to blue clothes. Personally, I think they look nice.
As nice as blue is on Jeannie, the last thing he would want is to dress in the same clothing as the genie who put him and his loved ones through shit.
Now the shoe is on the other foot.
I guess they switched bodies?
Seems like it. CD haven’t been doing the blue eyes on Blue of late.
Oh wow, you’re right. They haven’t been blue in ages.
I dunno if that’s intentional or not, but it probably is.
I stopped the Blue eye thing when they each had their own body.
I wonder why blue doesn’t suffer fatigue by ending up in a ‘feeble’ mortal mind…
Either because of his longer time being a genie (or being a natural born genie) gives him more resistance…
Or because his anger blinded him from realizing the body swap until panel 4.
Well it is not like it is an easy thing to see, they basically look like identical twins
Ohhhhka I am really confused now
They swapped bodies. Jean got back his genie body, and now Blue is now in the human female body, with no magic.
Going to fire off a few thoughts:
1. Awesome! Two updates!
2. Sucks to be the Blue Djinn. Hopefully this siccs the ghosts of her victims on her too.
3. Hopefully this whole mess imparts some more humility to Jean. Be a real shame to just go back to business as usual.
4. If this doesn’t cancel the binding with Guano, is Jean still bound to him through the Hubdun Jadid? That could be messy.

We are waiting to find out which way CD Rudd intend to take this series, but, I personally would like the second option of these two choices.
… I don’t think Haji or anyone else can annull the Hubdun Jadid agreement.
…And now you, Blue, are condemned to be Roger’s girlfriend!
Adultery! Blue is already married to Guano, remember? Unless the Hubun Jahid goes with the body, which would make *Jean* married to Guano. Don’t forget that Jean’s human body was marked as her Genie body’s slave… wonder how the transfer affected that? I predict embarrassments galore in the near future.

Hahahahaha, I love it!

I think it would be a nice follow through on this story.
Think Jean is responsible enough to go back and fix Blue’s transgressions?
No, but, it would make a good story though. She would probably need Neil directing her most of the way, as irresponsible as Jeanie is.
Jeanie will act in her own self interest as always, but “clueless or thoughtless character learns lesson in empathy” is one of the classic sitcom story arcs.
Okay Jean use your magic and show Blue why you don’t mess with you and a body swap back so that’s how you use the all powerful lantern. And to quote Beetle Juice Its Showtime!
So, the question in my mind is; does Jeanie now have all the power that Big Blue had accumulated into her body? If so, look out! If Jeanie’s total lack of concern and caution was dangerous before, this could be epic.
Wait, I had to read that twice to get it…
They switched bodies!
Yup! CD did a masterful misdirect in panel 2, making it unclear that Blue was now in Jeanie’s human body. It makes the page a bit confusing on first read, but that’s kind of the point.
And now Human Blue is at Genie Jean’s mercy!
send blue to forever have to dance at the strip club! Ba HA HA HA ha (evil laugh)
If Jean IS still married to Gauno BUT has all the majic power of the blue djinn maybe it’s a way to get the necessary magic and responsiblity lessons, while at the same time having enough leverage to not be treated like an ass.
Side note: what color would you get if you mixed Jean’s/Jeanie’s old color with the color of the blue djinn?
Purple.
Interesting thought… Blue seems to have had access to Jeanie’s consciousness, perhaps Jeanie also has access to what Blue did while controlling her body. Short of the mice, she would know what happened to the two dog-men, Rouyaa, Asha, Araceli and, more importantly, Lord Guano. With that knowledge she might fix things, although getting out of a magically blessed marriage is going to be a problem.

Who knows? Maybe she could even recreate Lily (but with different dietary needs!)
@Lee – Rodge would like that.
My urge to comment forces me to say that “buried” has one “r,” not two. Wish I could think of something else to say, but that’s it for now.
Rivers are “dammed”. I suspect XBlue is damned…
And also they would be “buried” in the center of the earth rather than being “burried” into it.
Thanks for the heads up, you two. “Burried” is a different typo that I fixed wrong, but I straight up missed “dammed”. Fixing now.
I’m surprised that the big explosion of chaos magic caused barely any changes. Unless there are some effects outside the frame. Quick, check if Moon is ok!
To be fair, a human swapping bodies with a genie would make genie-kind freak the fuck out. Definitely gonna be some chaotic repercussions to this.
Except that Jeanie is (was) a genie and this body swap is just making things right again (for her). Now, Blue being inside a human body… well, that’s just karma.
I think it’s more that Jeanie just used the Quat Euzma to do something that I’m sure genie-kind has never seen before. “Setting things right” or no, if a different human had done that, this might very well have happened.
“human swapping bodies with a genie would make genie-kind freak the fuck out”
That is if they actually believe it happened.
Jean could be about to be punished for “being Blue”.
Is this the first time Jean’s been in a genie body without a hat?
No, but, it doesn’t happen very often.
No, but it is the first time she’s worn a blue harem outfit voluntarily.
I’m not sure that was voluntary.
Well, by “voluntarily”, I mean “actually enjoying it”. At least in a relative sense.
Time for some revenge transformations? *evil grin*
I sure hope Jean isn’t confused for the Blue Djinn by certain genies of authority.
If there’s no intervention Blue Djinn’s about to face a certain someone’s fury.
How much trouble do you think Jean is gonna be in for letting Blue take over his body and causing the deaths of many genies cause I think there not gonna really let Jean go unpunished since another genie (The genie being Jeanie from germany) was punished for a false crime. Jean is in a lot of trouble that no one has talked about yet.
LMAO OMy….. oh my gosh lol lol lol, the all powerful lmao blue Djinn is trapped in the body of a mortal. That is beyond ironic!
How many copies of Barbara Eden / Jeannie are we up to now?
Not counting Barbara Eden herself, we up to three right now. Jean, Blue Janie, and Jehane… even is she is a brunette now.
I like that there’s some modeling but no sign of the door. That had some kick.
If I had to come with a prediction. Blue is going to become a new permanent character of the group, as the unpowerful human female clone-twin of Jeannie.
Coming up next. Blue trying to get a job so she can pay for food and board.

He has a son named Tedd, and Tedd has a girlfriend named Grace, who Jeanie once poofed in for a cameo in I Dream of a Nerd
… note that Grace is a mutant squirrel and alien with superpowers, so exactly what they wanted page before.
@Tom Sewell, that is a very flimsy connection, besides that Lavender wasn’t exactly human
