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.
Yeah, pretty sure you can’t wish for a million wishes or more. And number 700 early congrats CD and Robert. Also did Jean time travel or is that the other Jean from a few chapters back?
It does appear like the time travel shenanigans are still going on in the background. Have we previously seen Jean in that Jacket? Front and center Jean is being rather nonchalant about this, wouldn’t you say? A new bong would tend to keep him out of trouble — “ambitious stoner” being a thing reserved for Elon Musk. A bong + a million wishes? Poof, you are now the genie of the bong.
Make that, gold trimmed, DeLorean shaped bong, sent back one million and one days. Each of which will necessitate a ‘I wish I were back in the future’ wish.
The first wish and third wish sealed the fate of him remaining human. Though I do wonder if this voids the other wishes that the other guy gets, seeing as how there will be two genies now.
The first wish is fine.
Watch the car show come up with no title or licence plates.
As for the third: He can wish to HAVE wishes, but that doesn’t mean they will be granted.
Forth: Is that another Jean outside the window? Are we still due for time travel shenanigans?
I like that idea for wish 3. It’s clever and it neutralizes his third wish without her having to actually do anything.
But knowing this comic, she poofed him into a genie.
The German genie’s name is Jehane, and her appearance was also inspired by Barbara Eden. She was originally a brunette until being geniefied and became a carbon copy of our Jeanie. When her power was removed, she returned to being brunette, but if her powers have been restored, she probably returned to being blonde. Jehane wore a hat just like Jeanie’s.
Well, he just wished for his own genie bottle, a really nice hot wheel car, and the ability to grant a million wishes. Now, for idiot number two to step up and show that they can out do the first one in stupid wishes. That is if the Jeanie there is not a projection and the one outside is not the real one leaving.
Perhaps idiot one is being sent to Lord Guano as a replacement wife to give Guano a child. Jeannie did absorb the power of several genies in the past. A stoner genie might be a bit more workable with the mother in law.
More time travelling appearances? Just wondering what future story plot all these cameos of the main cast (being Jean and Neil so far) are going to be about…
She *did* get superpowered by effectively stealing the Blue Djinn’s body after he absorbed like half a dozen genies. I don’t think any other genies are capable of time travel, either. So… *maybe*?
1-The New Bong will also be broken.
2-Hot wheels car, very nice, but a toy.
3-He’s going to want a million things but won’t have the magic to give them to him.
Just a thought, but what if the Jeanie prominent in the last few strips is not the Jeanie we think she is? Perhaps the panel #2 onlooker is the “real” Jeanie?
Secondly, “I’m going to wish for a million more wishes”. He doesn’t say “I wish for a million more wishes”, only that he wants to. That’s a wish. Even if he realizes his mistake, he’ll be FORCED to wish for a million more wishes. But he’s already had three (others have already suggested how 1 and 2 will be subverted) so wish 4 is null and void.
Or you could draw from “Darby O’Gill and the Little People” — “Three wishes I’ll grant, be they great wishes or small. But wish a fourth wish, and you lose them all!”
So, he’ll be in a time loop forever, repeating those three wishes. Since the third wish is always “a million more” he’ll never run out of wishes and be stuck until the universe ends.
Jeanie told them they had to give her the wishes all at the same time. Orange shirt stoner walked off so hie wishes are negated. Doesn’t get any because he didn’t listen.
yes but when he sees what happened to his friends he will be glad that he walked off.
It is like the #1 rule when it comes to djinni, they are magical trickers that twists every wish, sometimes horribly so, but even in the best of times in ironic and unintended ways
I had a thought. Turning someone into a genie is probably no small thing. A lesser genie might simply make him a servant.
Since we know there is a limit to a genie’s power they must give ‘some’ of that power to the new genie… we don’t know how a genie replenishes this core energy but they probably can’t. Jean has absorbed the power of many genies though so giving up ‘one’ genie source power is nothing to her….
Just a weird thought but I wonder if making a new genie weakens Jean herself.

The German girl? Pretty sure she’s a brunette now.

A bong + a million wishes? Poof, you are now the genie of the bong.
Genie of the bong! ROFL! Have you ever seen what the water in a bong is like after a few hours of use?
Nope. Not one of my vices, thankfully. My potentially dangerous addictions are dogs and horses.
A gold trimmed, car shaped bong…
Make that, gold trimmed, DeLorean shaped bong, sent back one million and one days. Each of which will necessitate a ‘I wish I were back in the future’ wish.
One million and one days would put him in the second week of November, 716 BC, though of course nobody used November as a month way back then.
You can wish for whatever number of wishes, because you can have any number of wishes. Only three will be granted.
Hot Wheels car or Barbie doll car.
A Tesla with a malfunctioning battery. That is one HOT ride!
ROTFL! “HOT ride!” That was great!
The first wish and third wish sealed the fate of him remaining human. Though I do wonder if this voids the other wishes that the other guy gets, seeing as how there will be two genies now.

Considering there is a Back to the Future poster in panel 1, I’d have to say that’s a yes on the time travel.
I like that idea for wish 3. It’s clever and it neutralizes his third wish without her having to actually do anything.

Doesn’t there need to be a genie bottle available. Genie’s can’t simply be created, they need the magic source.
I dunno, is that true? Jafar got “just created” at the end of the first Aladdin. New lamp and everything.
It might be another Jeanie considering she appears to be wearing the same hat.
The German genie’s name is Jehane, and her appearance was also inspired by Barbara Eden. She was originally a brunette until being geniefied and became a carbon copy of our Jeanie. When her power was removed, she returned to being brunette, but if her powers have been restored, she probably returned to being blonde. Jehane wore a hat just like Jeanie’s.

am i seeing Jeanie’s reflection in Panel 2, or is that a sign that Bozo #1 is gonna turn into a genie?
More time travelling appearances? Just wondering what future story plot all these cameos of the main cast (being Jean and Neil so far) are going to be about…
If Jean now has the power to just casually create genie totems and turn people into genies, that is MASSIVELY terrifying.
She *did* get superpowered by effectively stealing the Blue Djinn’s body after he absorbed like half a dozen genies. I don’t think any other genies are capable of time travel, either. So… *maybe*?
Turns out the guy who just went back to work was actually the smart one.
1-The New Bong will also be broken.
2-Hot wheels car, very nice, but a toy.
3-He’s going to want a million things but won’t have the magic to give them to him.
Wish #1: A shiny new bong.
Wish #2: A shiny new car.
Wish #3: 1 million “wish you were here” post cards from various vacation sites.
Stoner #2 or 3 is going to wish for a hot girlfriend (that also happens to own a shiny new bong and a shiny new car).
Wait this could be a trick first a new bong then he said the details so it could be 2 separate wishes.
Just a thought, but what if the Jeanie prominent in the last few strips is not the Jeanie we think she is? Perhaps the panel #2 onlooker is the “real” Jeanie?
Stoner number 1 could be the girl looking through the window. Will have to use his wishes to get back to normal???
Yup, Stoner number one left wearing an orange button down shirt. The genie looking through the window is wearing the same shirt.
I doubt it. Stoner was wearing what looked like a button-down shirt. The girl in the window is wearing a white T-shirt and a jacket.
Considering the size of Jeanie’s chest I think stoner one popped a few buttons. That is his shirt with a white undershirt.
Anyone here know of Rayah genie master of twisting wishes? For instance, “I wish I was irresistable to women.’ “Done! You’re chocolate!”
Yeah, I follow that series. It’s pretty entertaining.
Well, Jean is no longer the youngest Jeanie. She could be a nice big sister figure now.
First off, spelling error. “Thrid wish”
Secondly, “I’m going to wish for a million more wishes”. He doesn’t say “I wish for a million more wishes”, only that he wants to. That’s a wish. Even if he realizes his mistake, he’ll be FORCED to wish for a million more wishes. But he’s already had three (others have already suggested how 1 and 2 will be subverted) so wish 4 is null and void.
Genius.
Or you could draw from “Darby O’Gill and the Little People” — “Three wishes I’ll grant, be they great wishes or small. But wish a fourth wish, and you lose them all!”
> First off, spelling error. “Thrid wish”
Thanks! Fixed.
If he is actually turning into a genie, the Gold Trimmed Bong he wanted is likely going to be his/her new Genie Bottle…
As for the car, maybe a new free car for herself and/or Niel.
So, he’ll be in a time loop forever, repeating those three wishes. Since the third wish is always “a million more” he’ll never run out of wishes and be stuck until the universe ends.
Jeanie told them they had to give her the wishes all at the same time. Orange shirt stoner walked off so hie wishes are negated. Doesn’t get any because he didn’t listen.

It is like the #1 rule when it comes to djinni, they are magical trickers that twists every wish, sometimes horribly so, but even in the best of times in ironic and unintended ways
And thus a new djinn was born, and her home was a golden bong
By the way did anyone notice the extra Jeannie in the window, what is up with that? Is it a timeline thing?
We shall see!
so wishing for wishes is a thing
A really nice car? Like from the showroom? Like from the factory? One that no one has ever driven? And you want it in that condition forever?
I don’t think that the doors will open.
I had a thought. Turning someone into a genie is probably no small thing. A lesser genie might simply make him a servant.
Since we know there is a limit to a genie’s power they must give ‘some’ of that power to the new genie… we don’t know how a genie replenishes this core energy but they probably can’t. Jean has absorbed the power of many genies though so giving up ‘one’ genie source power is nothing to her….
