Chapter: Story 13: I Dream of Separation
And I’m sure no one is surprised by Rodge’s reaction.
Welcome to
Normally Updates Weekly
Usually Tuesday or Thursday
And I’m sure no one is surprised by Rodge’s reaction.
Called it last week and Rodge you ladies man your not cheating on Natalie now are you.
Considering how he dated a carnivorous plant girl….yep, he’s a player.
Actually, Rodge is only a wannabe of being a ladies man. He look at a man like Jean use to be and longs to be a Jean in his hart, but, alas he not a ladies man, is only a wannabe. That why Rodge could play the masquerading Jean better than Neil could when Jeanie transformed both of them into a likeness of what she use to be as a man.
Should Neil really be this surprised by now? How many more times is he going to forget that he’s in someone else’s body?
With all those times being turned into Natalie, being in a woman is now like second nature to Neil now, even if the body is someone else completely and not a TG Version of himself.
Or perhaps being in a genie’s body is having some sort of negative effect on Neil. I mean, Araceli has been pretty quiet since she told Neil the situation. She didn’t even react when Liam saved her body from the sidewalk cleaner, and it was Neil in Araceli’s body that was blushing afterwards. Neil may be slowly overwriting Araceli as we speak.
It’s still too soon to make any conclusions, so what do you lot think?
There are any number of possibilities here and one person overwriting another person who sharing the same body is also a possibility too. Another possibility would be a little bit of after glow of being in a Genie body, that some magical tendency might emerge or happen just after Neil and Araceli separate for a short period of time too. Like Rodge could have a one last longing to see Natalie one more time and wish to see her while Neil standing there and he transform into Natalie for a short period of time until the effects of being in Araceli body wear off in a few hour or so. At this point almost anything is possible and is an area that we haven’t seen or been to yet.
Overwriting? Seriously? She’s probably just “sleeping”.
I wish Neil and Rodge would get some sense knocked into their heads.
Where’s Jeanie when you need her?
I noticed something about Araceli(Neil) in the recent few panels. Her bottom lip is sometimes red. Is that her tongue or lipstick?
That her tongue, if you look close, you can see it her tongue, I used a magnifying glass to see it. Also if you go to last weeks edition of Jeanie Bottle, it more clear that it her tongue too.
bet someone wishes he could access the magic of that body right now
All bet’s are off at this point. We all know how thing can go wrong or go in a direction that they didn’t expect it to go in. However, it would not surprise me if Neil does do some kind of magic contrary to what Araceli was expecting. Even tho Araceli put a lock on her magic to keep Neil from using it, lock can be broken or some of Araceli magic could still leak out to Neil at an inappropriate time and cause some kind of problem.
Since the probe is orbiting Mars, the “unknown body” is also tugging on the planet. The spacecraft can only be pulled off its desired trajectory by differentials in the field. These are known as “tidal” forces and vary as the inverse cube of the distance. So body X must be very massive and very close. Furthermore, it must be a recent addition or it would be obvious from its effects upon Phobos and Deimos.
A mini black hole? Or an unintended side-effect of Jeanie’s holiday visit to Mars to fix a stuck rover?
“It’s Magic! I don’t gonna explain nothing!!”
Good points. What mass would be big enough to affect something small, like the probe, but not noticeably tug on Mars itself? And not have been noticed before? It’s not like Mars has been neglected for the last hundred years or so.
Another ‘Oumuamua like visitor? Asteroid taking a turn through the inner system? Or, indeed, a side effect of Jeanie’s visit?
Or the planners could have made an error and it’s Phobos itself tugging on the probe.
She just gave you a name. “Rodge! It’s Gravity!”
Hehehe… wish I had thought of that line when I made this comic.
I thought pay phones were extinct, like stock racks on pick-up trucks.
I live in a small rural town and there are still a couple around as cell service can be rather spotty around here.
With payphones, remember this is CD Rudd universe. And how many transfer from man to woman have you heard about?
I guess you are right. Anything goes when you are the artist. I love the artwork.
Also remember it’s still the early 2010s or so for them–barely a year has passed since the series first started.
I wonder when we will get to see Araceli in her own banner.
Indeed..
I just realized: This means Rodge is going to get credit for solving the problem instead of Neil.
Quite likely, yeah. And Neil will grump about it, but that’s about it. He’s not near aggressive enough.
I have to apologize to Neil, because I thought that he’d forgotten that gravity might influence fuel consumption.
No, actually, he’s made a nice little conceptual leap here, guessing that the unexpected fuel use is in fact evidence of a previously unobserved mass large enough to influence the probe’s path.
Jolly good!
Now, foolish Master, rescue your genie!
But what might that mass be?
“That’s no moon–!”

Foradin… I think he’s referring to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Nho44lGVV8
Really, Neil, you’re obviously going to have to come up with some passphrase you can use signal you are currently in a girl’s body. No, “Rodge, it’s me, Neil.” isn’t going to work because it’s crazy.
Niel in Araceli’s body must have a very horny voice
Pretty sure Rodge just has horny mush between his ears.
Although Araceli’s voice is likely more than cute enough, regardless of who’s driving.
People also sound different over a phone connection (which is low-fidelity) than they do in person, so Rodge, who has primarily heard Araceli’s voice only in person and not over the phone, would not instantly recognize who is calling.
With 50srefugee comment, I agree!
“Although Araceli’s voice is likely more than cute enough, regardless of who’s driving.”
Now I’m thinking of a normal sultry seductive tone that is forced upon secondary occupants for consistancy.
Roger you dummy, you are letting a golden opportunity for advancement slip through your greasy fingers. Sheetz
They call each other the cutest nicknames “gravity”, is that because she is so attractive? And Jupiter? Alright it could be worse, at least it is not the 7th planet from the sun (whose name must never be uttered)
Oh, so that’s why that awful 1961 Danish-American movie was re-titled Journey to the Seventh Planet. How awful? It was made on a budget of $75,000.
What the hell, why have I never heard of it before, it even have Ove Sprogøe in the cast. And why do they call it that, Uranus don’t sound obscene in Danish.
Is this like that other flop “Reptilicus” the failed attempt to create a Danish monster film?
In case everyone has forgotten the last time I posted this factoid, the company that Neil and Rodge work for, Jupiter Two Engineering, is named after the spaceship in Lost in Space. When is CD going to put in cameos of Will Robinson, Dr. Smith, and the robot with all the best lines?
The robot would be cool, “DANGER DANGER – NEIL – DANGER”
Then there Dr. Smith statement, “You Bauble Headed Booby”! Dr. Smith had a whole list of insults that he threw at the robot.
You need to stay on your toes with all the little keshay this comic has.
Last panel — “do’in” should probably be “doin'” — the apostrophe is standing in for the dropped “g.”
I wonder if the object pulling the orbiter out of alignment could be a Pixie Ranger ship? Honey in spandex!
Oh, graphical mistake if that’s not too hard to correct:
The phone booth in panel 3 is obviously translucent material (can see the wall and windowsill behind it), so the vertical PHONE written on the far side should probably be mirrored — because it would be intended for people on the other side of the booth to be able to read it.
Yeah, it’s not a ‘booth’ but a little shield/divider or something, but if they have names for those things, they’re not currently in common vocabulary — if they ever were.
Hmmm, should be fixable. I’ll see what I can do.
EDIT: Fixed!
Given how often he isn’t him, he should have a code phrase for when he’s note him, but is really him. Like, I don’t know, “RODGE YOU IDIOT, IF YOU DON’T RECOGNIZE ME *RIGHT NOW* I’M GOING TO BEAT YOU LOOK LIKE A RACOON AND HAVE TO MOVE TO ALASKA AND BEFRIEND A *POLAR BEAR*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Oops. LIKE a racoon.
UNTIL YOU LOOK LIKE A . . . oh boy.
