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.
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.
So, we know it’s earlier than Sartorelli’s Last Closing, and later than the first time Jeannie went to Sartorelli’s as Jeannie. I’m still not convinced we’ll be seeing high-school aged versions of Neil and Jean…
I kinda think Jeanie did not know that the perfect time to zap those two guys annoying Agent Anderson was Omaha Beach just before the German machine guns opened up on the first wave s to land. So maybe her awesome magic homes in on the “best” case for whatever she’s really wishing, even to protecting her conscience from knowing she’s sent those guys to almost certain death.
Speaking of genies last seen in confinement, what happened to Rouyah, last seen youthened but trapped in an ordinary-looking bottle in her own apartment by the Blue Djinn? I wonder why the Blue Meanie didn’t even try to kill her, since she killed at least four other genies by my count and tried to kill Neil and Rodge twice (first by carnivorous plant and second by turning them into mice).
@Tom The lords stated that Jeanie would had to go on tour to fix all the damage Blue cause. Assuming she was aware at the time, then that would include getting Rouyah out of the bottle.
I thought Jean already was a girl, as in two X chromosomes, physically female, becoming more mentally female as time passes and able to give birth to baby jinn?
I think Paul was referring to Jean missing prom as a male and now has a second chance to attend prom, but as a girl. But are we sure Jean actually missed prom? I don’t recall when that was mentioned.
Or it could have been last year Prom or the year before Prom. Not being told the year, we don’t know if it is the right Prom that Jeanie thinking of. But, I think we are going to luck out and it will be the right date for the Prom the Jeanie thinking about.
If both Jeanie and Neil go there in masquerade form, some have already mentioned that he could go a Natalie. Nobody would recognize Jeanie not even Jean.
I think I remember that when Jeanie 2 got babyfied she was left at an orphanage in Arizona. I hope a certain redhead in a strapless blue dress shows up at prom. Now Neil has to take Jeanie shopping for a prom dress. I know she could poof one but that takes the fun out of dragging neil to 100 shops and then going back to the first one and buying the first dress she tried on. Been there.
I don’t think so and I will give you two reason why that not the younger Jean.
1, The hair collar is off too much for that to be Jean and he look nothing like Jean.
2. They don’t recognize each other, Neil doesn’t recognize him and he doesn’t recognize Neil.
Also if this is the right May 29 of the right year then this is probably Friday Morning and kids are still in school too. Otherwise, there isn’t any reason for Jeanie to want to go see the school. So Prom would probably scheduled on Saturday May 30. So there going to be a last minute rush to either get a girl for the Prom and or Prom Dresses if they already don’t have one yet.
No, remember they went back originally for those Kibble Burger and going to the Prom was just an after thought on Jeanie part. So that School Prom is going to be in the same time frame that Jean and Neil grow up in. So there probably only two possible choices here. So we are dealing with probably 5 to 7 year time frame here that this could be taking place. Remember Jean is 23 years old and most people graduate about 18 years of age, so that about 5 year. So two to four years max, I would think.
I just had an awesome thought. It would be cool while at the prom Jeanie sees a lonely guy no one wants and she decides to help him by transforming him into a beautiful woman and she ends up winning prom queen, and Jeanie and Neil poof out of there leaving the poor boy stuck as a beautiful woman forever, like Jeanie did with Red.
I doubt CD would tell the same story twice like that. But I do like the idea of Jeanie doing _something_ that ends up remaining in place when they return to the present. And then maybe finds them again later.
So who wants to design teen natalie’s and teen Jeanie’s prom dresses for fan art. Tip of the hat to the great Foxworthy–You go to the high school prom and the dress pattern of choice is camo.
Got it time for a past self check up for a pep talk but what to disguise as?
Day before Prom.
How many dates will Jeanie be asked out for?
I did call it didn’t I? I knew that there was no way that Jeanie was going to let the School Prom go by, without taking look at it.
So, we know it’s earlier than Sartorelli’s Last Closing, and later than the first time Jeannie went to Sartorelli’s as Jeannie. I’m still not convinced we’ll be seeing high-school aged versions of Neil and Jean…
BTW – i’ve been wondering – what’s a “kibble burger”?
Also – if she just “poofed [them] there before this place closed” – how does she know what year it’s 29 May of?
Check the previous page for the kibble Burger in the description. CD got a recipe custom made from a friend just for it.
As for the date, I guess she just knows the place from around that time. Not to long before, nor after.
I kinda think Jeanie did not know that the perfect time to zap those two guys annoying Agent Anderson was Omaha Beach just before the German machine guns opened up on the first wave s to land. So maybe her awesome magic homes in on the “best” case for whatever she’s really wishing, even to protecting her conscience from knowing she’s sent those guys to almost certain death.
True. .. hm I wonder what happened to Jeanne 2. Is she still in the pit? Poor kid.
Jeanie 2 got banished (and I think depowered?). I don’t think she ever went to the place they imprisoned the Jinn, though.
Speaking of genies last seen in confinement, what happened to Rouyah, last seen youthened but trapped in an ordinary-looking bottle in her own apartment by the Blue Djinn? I wonder why the Blue Meanie didn’t even try to kill her, since she killed at least four other genies by my count and tried to kill Neil and Rodge twice (first by carnivorous plant and second by turning them into mice).

Dun dun dun duuun da du du du du da..
Back to the future situation calls for the theme song. Neil, stay away from mom. We don’t need that weirdness 😉
so Jean wants to dress up and attend prom as a girl
I thought Jean already was a girl, as in two X chromosomes, physically female, becoming more mentally female as time passes and able to give birth to baby jinn?
I think Paul was referring to Jean missing prom as a male and now has a second chance to attend prom, but as a girl. But are we sure Jean actually missed prom? I don’t recall when that was mentioned.
Uh, year?
yeah, that was my thought. Assuming this restaurant was open for more than one year, May 29 may, or may not, be the day before prom.
Or it could have been last year Prom or the year before Prom. Not being told the year, we don’t know if it is the right Prom that Jeanie thinking of. But, I think we are going to luck out and it will be the right date for the Prom the Jeanie thinking about.
If both Jeanie and Neil go there in masquerade form, some have already mentioned that he could go a Natalie. Nobody would recognize Jeanie not even Jean.
It’s entirely possible May 29 is definitely the day before prom EVERY year.
Yeah, that was my interpretation: they hold Prom on May 30th every year. It’s not like it needs to be any particular day of the week.
I think I remember that when Jeanie 2 got babyfied she was left at an orphanage in Arizona. I hope a certain redhead in a strapless blue dress shows up at prom. Now Neil has to take Jeanie shopping for a prom dress. I know she could poof one but that takes the fun out of dragging neil to 100 shops and then going back to the first one and buying the first dress she tried on. Been there.
Just from matching the hair color is that young Jean sitting on the stool in panel 2.
No, Neil would certainly have recognized him.
Is that Jeanie’s past self at the counter?
What’s on the wall? The Brooklyn Bridge?
Yeah, seems right to me. Though maybe it’s a bridge in Cincinnati? Since that’s where this diner is.
I don’t think so and I will give you two reason why that not the younger Jean.
1, The hair collar is off too much for that to be Jean and he look nothing like Jean.
2. They don’t recognize each other, Neil doesn’t recognize him and he doesn’t recognize Neil.
Also if this is the right May 29 of the right year then this is probably Friday Morning and kids are still in school too. Otherwise, there isn’t any reason for Jeanie to want to go see the school. So Prom would probably scheduled on Saturday May 30. So there going to be a last minute rush to either get a girl for the Prom and or Prom Dresses if they already don’t have one yet.
May 29th fell on a Friday in 1998, 2009 and 2015. Any reason to go back further?
No, remember they went back originally for those Kibble Burger and going to the Prom was just an after thought on Jeanie part.

“sees a lonely guy no one wants”
Whose name is Jean
🙂
And why is Jeanie still in a valentine’s outfit?
Who cares? She looks great in it!!
Oh Fearless Leader, we beseech thee… Remove the Valentine’s outfit…
And leave Jeanie!
Jeanie and Neil are both adults. Will Jeanie age regress them so they don’t stand out at the Prom?
Well, they could go undercover as adult chaperones. Not that Jeanie would make a good chaperone in any way, shape, or form… lol
Like that’s ever stopped her before.
So who wants to design teen natalie’s and teen Jeanie’s prom dresses for fan art. Tip of the hat to the great Foxworthy–You go to the high school prom and the dress pattern of choice is camo.
Great idea…too bad I can’t draw.
I know the feeling. I can’t even get stick figures right.
Now, if cutting and pasting from a web search is allowed… THAT I can do.
This is a fun idea. Reminds me of Bay’s wedding dress try-on back in SailorSun.org.
Will Jeanie be re-attending prom as Neil’s date?
