Chapter: Story 12: I Dream of a Promotion
I have no objections to Rodge’s suggestion.
Welcome to
Normally Updates Weekly
Usually Tuesday or Thursday
I have no objections to Rodge’s suggestion.
Kill it with fire?
Bash its little brains out against a wall, fill the mouth with salt, burn the corpse, funnel the ashes into a totem bottle, embed it in molten glass, and cast into the deep, deep sea.
Then nuke the planet, just to be sure.
i like your style!
Rodge and Neil your both Nasa engineers but not smart enough to be fathers yet.
I think it’s less them being clueless about taking care of a baby and more them uneasy because they know that the baby is the Blue Djinn, and aren’t sure whether the baby is still a threat.
The baby seems to be cheerful at least. 🙂
Jean’s outfit at the top of the page looks new, is it for Valentine’s Day?
That banner’s shown up a few times before. Not sure if it’s for anything in particular. I think CD has a script that just chooses random banners sometimes.
Jean looks a little pissed in that outfit
Darn. I hoped TimS meant “blotto”! Consider this a request!
Jeans got some business to wrap up with Guano maybe he will take care of damage control?
Neil and Rodge also have some business with guano, if you know what I mean.
Hur hur.
Rodge and neil will play wo sham bo with very high stinky stakes.
Jean’s got her pink outfit back with hat
It seems to be her default choice when she doesn’t put any thought into changing her clothes. She also went back to pink, apparently without realizing it, after having her outfit changed to white when she was temporarily Boss Hogg’s genie.
Does that make Baby Blue’s caretakers the new Duke boys?
Awwww drat, I was hoping the blue would stay…..sigh…..oh well day ruined.
Jean left baby blue with those two to babysit?
Seems to be. I wonder what she’s up to?
Well genies can’t kill.
However leaving it with two incompetents is totally within the rules 🙂
After all, there are things so much more klutzy than death.
Given how Jean is prone not not thinking things through all he way and this is something I’m sure she doesn’t want to think to much about I doubt she has much in mind other then “I don’t want to deal with getting this baby cleaned up. You can deal with that”
@TimS – I love that you already have a name for Baby Blue!
What are you going to do? Just call it the Child?
An interesting detail here is that normally removing another genie’s magic is exhausting (or some such), so if Jean poofs the mice back to men, is it easy to do since it’s technically her magic that did it? Hmm…
>is it easy to do since it’s technically her magic that did it?
Quite likely.
so Baby blue has the Blue Jinn’s mark now that he/she is in Jeans body and the only one that can remove it is Jean?
That is so cool
We don’t know if the baby Blue still has the mark or not that basically make her a slave to the Genie. We will have to find out in a future episode of Jeanie Bottle.
I’m glad Jean is back to ‘normal’ .. but on the other hand I wish Rodge and Neil were not so ineffectual. Then again this wasnt a battle for mere mortals.
At least we can get a potential new comic: Baby Blues 🙂
Oh, another spin off of Jeanie Bottle? I don’t think so, she just a mortal baby and nothing to write home about or any serious plot could be pulled out of it. But, then I could be wrong, well see!
She could be Angelica from the rugrats
I think Rouyaa is going to take responsibility for raising baby blue, so now she can be the mother to her father. (damn Jinns have complicated family relations)
I’m my own grandpa
I’m my own grandpa
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so!
Oh, I’m my own grandpa
Honey explained it back in Sailorsun 11/16/2006.
I read a story once where due to various curses travel and time travel a guy wound up becoming his own parents. BOTH his parents got sent back in time, turned into a chlid and grew up to become his father, got sent back in time again, turned into a girl and grew up to become his mother including giving birth to himself then she got her memory back after he was sent back the first time.
That is literally impossible, but it is possible for someone to be both thy uncle and thy grandfather at the same time, it just requires some incest.
You’re not thinking of “All You Zombies” by Robert Heinlein are you?
It might be The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold, copyright 1973. I have an original copy and almost got pulled into reading it again after just finding it in the bookcase.
If you read the first 15 pages, you’ll read the whole thing.
“Change me, mommy!”
with the blue jinn defeated does that mean that the future Haji who swore his magic oath to blue jinn power now subject to Jean unless release.
Don’t know, but, if Jeanie intend to hold Guano to the Oath that the Blue Djinn forced him to make, Jeanie will have to bare Guano a Genie baby and not just make Blue into a baby. So if there a loop hole in casting the Hubun Jadid ritual on Guano, I am sure that Jeanie would just assume that Guano be the one that got away, assuming that it possible that is.
But, we will see what happens in some future episode of Jeanie Bottle.
Quick show Blue kind, loving, nurturing, and a highly safe stable home and Blue wont be an evil Genie Lord.
Baby Blue does have one known living relative, last seen in the apartment next door.
Jean and Rodge both called baby Blue IT. Just name her It.
…and let her hair grow till it reaches the floor.
Why not. Honey’s is almost that long now.
But she’s not a clown…
I think we are referring to cousin It from the Adams Family.
Neither was Cousin Itt.
I can’t help to leave with a warm feeling after reading this comic.
Look at that baby smile. Non parents won’t know this but most babies go through a phase where they literally laugh at everything.
Also, we already have the perfect name for baby blue: according to the song it’s “Dixie”.
All the days became so long
Did you really think, I’d do you wrong
Dixie, when I let you go
Thought you’d realize, that I would know, I would show
The special love I have for you, my Baby Blue.
Badfinger: Baby Blue, 1972
Possibly the most epic guitar ballad of all time, with a lead that rolls like an angry sea.
Nyah! I will have my vengence by making you eat your vegetables!
I’m a little surprised that nobody has mentioned the 80’s show “My Two Dads” that featured two guys raising the daughter of a woman they both had been with before she died. They managed to raise her alright but then, neither of them were aerospace nerds.
Just to be clear: Araceli is Guano’s niece and Rouyaa is Blue’s daughter?
Strange that the two of them ended up so close to each other, must be a plot point. 😉
Completely forgot about that show… amazing that it ran 60 episodes from 1987-1990 and left no impression.
one question are the minions?
Why couldn’t Jeanie just poof the poop away?
That would not be as funny as watching two klutzy guys trying to clean her up. I hope its not the runny kind. Jean should have left them some wet wipes and pampers.
Well, so much for Jean(ie)’s motherly instincts …
