A junior engineer working for a small engineering firm in Cocoa Beach. The firm focuses mostly on NASA projects.
Neil is Jean’s best friend. When Jean was turned into a genie, Neil became Jeanie’s master.
Well, that answers that question. The body is still there, but, there nobody home to answer the telephone! I wonder how long it going to take Rodge to figure out that Neil spirit is on a sabbatical trip away from his own body right now.
And blind, if someone doesn’t close those eyelids. Blinking is essential for eye health, your eyeballs dry out if you don’t. Ach, magic will fix that I suppose.
Just means Rodge isn’t very observant. Blinking, like breathing and heartbeat, doesn’t require conscious effort. They continue even during “persistent vegetative states”; i.e. “nobody home”
On the other hand, if he’s even partially correct, Neil is going to require several gallons of Visine when he “gets back”.
Between that and the “flux capacitor”, maybe he really was thinking about Time Machine designs . . .
Anyway, as long as Neil returns to his body before everybody has gone home for the evening, then he should be ok and no one the wiser.
Well if your looking for a reason for Uncle Bat Poop to have for poofing Araceli back to the Haji Palace, that easy answer, they both have an interest in who and what Jeanie is or is going to become, which may be the mother of Bat Poop baby. Uncle Bat Poop may be either looking for some moral support and/or a female view of the problems that he has to deal with. Remember that Bat Poop is still just a Gilligan kind of person at his core that been thrust into the Genie Lord role, so he could probably need Araceli help and need it badly too.
And this could be one of the things that complicates the Neil/Araceli dual nature of Araceli right now too. It would be an interesting new development and problem all by itself too.
In strip #577, when the spell took effect, Neil was running a finger down the page, which was on top of some other papers on his desk. In this strip (#585) his body is holding up the sheet of paper and studying it. Is this just a goof, or is some part of his mind still active? There are any number of stories of scientists solving a problem in his sleep. The shape of the benzine ring and the Pauli Exclusion Principle are the best known examples of this. Maybe Neil will leap back to discover that his body (unconscious mind) has solved the consumption problem. And he’ll just have to figure out how, so he can write it up.
On the sillier side, I hope something takes care of ALL his autonomous body functions. Breathing, and blinking, and having his heart beat are all good, but, for example, the normal adult male human body creates something like four liters of urine a day.
My PC was acting funny and cut off before I could finish. What I wanted to say was that, while the human body can produce up to 2000 milliliters of urine a day, the human bladder can only hold about 400 milliliters.
To be fair, outside of the two lingerie/Rodge scenes, Natalie has only worn fairly modest clothes in canon. She’s been in a bikini in a pinup once, though.
Robert, Natalie’s debut was in a Harem Costume, on stage, in a strip club. Also, I want to believe Natalie try many different outfits while waiting for Rodgie on her love craze state.
confession, I admit I have a slight crush on Araceli. But she needs to wear her hair either in pigtails or combed back and then thrown over her left shoulder like Judith Durham.
State of mind were he is pause. Quick some one grab a marker lets draw a mustache on him before he notices.
So until his body flops over or something, they’re just gonna to assume he’s hard at work. If only I could get away with that at my job. 😀
Oh thank god. I thought for sure his empty body would be speaking gibberish and drooling on the table, but nope he’s a statue.
Well, that answers that question. The body is still there, but, there nobody home to answer the telephone! I wonder how long it going to take Rodge to figure out that Neil spirit is on a sabbatical trip away from his own body right now.
Gives a whole new meaning to “Mindless drudgery” doesn’t it?
Hopefully his PHB won’t come by to talk to him.
“Mindless drudgery”
I wonder if he will be more productive this way 🙂
He’s going to be stiff and sore from lack of movement when he returns to his body.
And blind, if someone doesn’t close those eyelids. Blinking is essential for eye health, your eyeballs dry out if you don’t. Ach, magic will fix that I suppose.

Wait, that means that when he gets poofed back into his body, his arm is going to be MAD asleep!
Hopefully there are no passing spirits that decide to move in.
the logo is jittery
It’s always jittery.
i didnt think it was the whole thing…like the words as well….just the smoke
Yeah, that’s new. I dunno what’s up with that. I’ll let CD know.
Rigor mortis?
Working on time travel, was he? Is that a flux capacitor diagram pinned to the wall behind him?
No, it not a flux capacitor, but, it kind of look like one from a distance. I forget what it actually is.
Yep, it looks like the flux capacitor. That is how Neil and Jeanie will go back in time to undo all the damage done by the Blue Meanie.
Great Scott!
Finally got it. In panel four the lower left corner the picture on the wall looks a lot like Mister Peabody and Sherman’s Way Back machine.

I’m begining to wonder if Araceli might get poofed back to Haji’s palace by Uncle Bat Poop for some reason or another.

It is a day late–sorry bout that chief–but have a happy Canada Day.

And Neil probably drinks a lot of coffee.
He is working on a fuel comsumpion problem. Maybe that will tell him how to solve the problem.
The human body can only go for four days without water or it light out ladies.
For a forth of July filler or banner. I don’t believe we have ever seen Araceli in a maple leaf bikini on the beach.
Do you really want to see Neil that way?
Yes.
CD did draw both Bay and Maple Leaf Girl (a Wotch-based superheroine from Canada) in Canadian themed swimwear. You can find them on his DA.
Would being in Araceli’s body in a bikini be any worse than some of the outfits he wore as Natalie?

I detect an Aussie accent.
mid west. The seekers were just my favorite group. That girl could sing.
Oh, really, I grew up in Des Moines Iowa myself. I live in Texas now.
How could Rodge even tell that Neil hasn’t blinked, both him and the other co-worker are looking at the back of Neil’s head.
Sooner or later they will figure out that Neal is on some psychedelic drugs and leave it at that.
It’s a government job/contract. Staring at a piece of paper for hours on end is par for the course.
I didn’t get Araceli in a forth of July bikini but Jean, Bay and the Maple Leaf Girl were awesome. I loved the artwork on Deviant Art.
Boss enters cubical, ask a question, ends up taking the silence as answers and ends up answering his own question. Thanks him and leaves.
