Jeanie Bottle 668
Dec21
Jeanie is super cute when she’s having fun.
By the way, folks, next week begins the traditional Jeanie Bottle Christmas Week of Updates! We’ll be posting a new JB strip every night for 7 days, starting on Christmas Eve. So come back this Friday night for the next page of I Dream of a Big Ball of Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey… Stuff, and found out what Jean’s “surprise” is.
So, because Jean was drunk probably Jean doesn’t remember the past. Also, what’s the surprise?
You’ll see on Friday night. 🙂
Is there a chance the Jinn community that wants Jeannie pregnant might use this as an opportunity to do so?
You didn’t really think that Robert would tell you what the surprise is did you? But, knowing Jean, it can’t be a good surprise.
I don’t see there being anymore trouble out of Rita unless she is a witch and if she were, then she would have been able to poof up a new prom dress to replace the one that she got thrown out of the prom over. I suppose that she could be waiting just outside the hall that there holding the prom in and do a sneak attack on them.
The surprise is the hotel room.
The real surprise is Jean’s first time as a girl 🙂 This becomes a suppressed memory which is why Jeanie had such a hard time remembering the night.
@Fearless Ferret
I believe Jeanie was the one who messed with the memory of her past self. That would explain why she cannot remember the details of her prom.
The surprise is Jeanie finding out that Jean planned a surprise, which she obviously doesn’t remember. I can’t imagine Jeanie succumbing to Jean’s dubious charms. I can imagine Jean being thoroughly creeped out learning first hand what it’s like to be on the receiving end of Jean’s intentions.
Jeanie herself established on the last page that she thinks she doesn’t remember her prom well because Jean got drunk off the punch. Which *Jeanie* spiked. So that’s an amusing stable time loop bit.
People keep confusing Jean’s memory of the prom (pre-time jump) to Jeanie’s memory of the prom (post-time jump). From Jeanie’s perspective this is all a new experience, and she is just beginning to learn what actually happened on prom night. Obviously, Jean’s memories were suppressed or simply forgotten due to the booze or some other reason (maybe his ego couldn’t handle rejection, because we all know Jeanie is NOT going to go along with whatever Jean thinks he’s about to do. You think she was shell shocked after Blue turned her mortal? Just imagine her mental state if she sleeps with her teen self.).
I don’t see Jeanie sleeping with her teen self, I am sure that teen Jean will try to take her there, but, I see it as a vain effort on his part to try to do that. We know that Jean going to get rejected by Jeanie when he try to do that, what we don’t know is what Jeanie’s response it going to be when he does. We know that Jeanie respond to hm can not be the way that she responded to Neil by turning him into girl and then putting him in a strip bar or what she did to Clarence by turning him into a girl before she came back to Coco Beach.
This is all new territory for Jeanie, she can’t turn Jean into a Female and then go back to the future like she done in the past with people.
Wolf Park High School? Is this place supposed to be near Wolf Park outside of Lafayette, IN?
Wolf Park is a cool place. I’ve been a couple of times, but it is has been at least 15 years since the last time I was there. 🙁
Deer Park High and that’s how it looks. Look it up.
Interesting. I was gonna say it looks like a cross between the school in The Simpsons, and the clock tower in Back to the Future. Didn’t realize it was modeled after a real school.
Deer Park High? How do you figure that? It says Wolf Park High School right above the door.
SaylorA: Deer Park High School is a real school in Cincinnati. The school in this strip is modeled after it.
Oh, OK.
Clairification: Deer Park Jr/Sr High near Cincinnati OH http://www.deerparkcityschools.org
This chapter is set in Cincinnati Ohio, Jean & Neil’s hometown.
It’s a pun on CD’s other comic.
Damn y’all been doing this for 9 years now that’s dedication
Respect there
It’s more than that, actually. Jeanie Bottle started back in February ’09. So we’re coming on on 13 years.
That said, *my* involvement in the comic started in mid-2013. So that is getting close to 9 years.
I’ve been reading IDJOB since day one, comic one. And I followed Sailor Sun from day one before that, because it was linked from the Wotch. I feel old now.
Probably that hotel room.
I never thought you’d get away with Jeanie in the banner ad wearing nothing but her hat and a stocking…
Haha, maybe. Maybe.
If Jean and jeanie actually do IT and she gets pregnant her hormones will mess up her ability to do proper magic. Does that mean that Neil will have to stay Natalie for nine months.
Jeanie is already pregnant with a genie offspring, so that would likely prevent any new pregnancy from happening.
Maybe? All we’ve been told is the Blue Genie shared the habun jahid with Guano while BG was possessing Jean’s body, and a habun jahid commits two genies to producing a child. The hows and whys of genie reproduction haven’t been explained, other than the obvious that they wouldn’t have female genies if something equivalent to gestation (or at least) ovulation wasn’t required. It may require some sparking event and that may not be the obvious thing. If it is the obvious thing there’s the issue that Guano is canonically gay and Jean is probably best described as lesbian-unless-sufficiently-motivated, though Lahab implied the necessary motivation could be supplied through magic. We also know that the habun jahid can’t be removed without destruction, which means it can be removed. And if genie reproduction is near-instant (“poof” seems to be the way they do just about everything) Jean may have had the child already. So all we the audience really know is Jean and Guano were committed to produce a child and Jean somehow worked out a deal that allowed her to return to Neal.
don’t you remember your own surprise you set up? its basic bill and ted time travel 101
Remember, Jean is so drunk that he isn’t going to remember what happened on this night. That’s why Jeanie’s been so vague about what actually happened on Prom night in her subjective past.
It may even be possible that finding out what happened on Prom night is part of Jean’s motivation for this little time jaunt, but I really doubt it. Jean has (so far) not appeared to be the type to dwell or even much care about the past. Maybe we’ll get some insight into why during this arc.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone. Neil have Happy Holidays. Neil does make an awesome Santa Clause.
I’m guessing that the surprise is in his pants.
