Chapter: Story 17: I Dream of Home Sweet Home
Neil. Buddy. Talk to your smoking hot housemate sometimes.
Also, welcome, one and all, to the 2023 Christmas Week of Updates!
As is tradition around here, CD drew a page of JB for every single day of the week between Christmas and New Years. So you’ll all get to enjoy the story progressing at 7x normal speed for a bit.
CD had to work extra hard for this one, because he went on a 2-week cruise with his mom this month. He burned the midnight oil in November and early December to get these done for y’all.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and check your mail Jean it’s piling up.
Dammit Jeannie.
Merry Christmas C.D. Rudd. And thanks for releasing this little strip of a comic for us fans to enjoy.
And maybe this is me sympathizing with Neil too much but Jean(ie) is just super complicated. She was your male best friend for most of her life and is now a hyper powerful genie who can do anything she wants but is still salty about being forced to be your ‘Master.’ Why would you want to be her boyfriend? Wouldn’t that make it weird for both of you?
And while Gene is not reading these posts, might help show that your are interested in him if you stop turning him into a girl and teleporting him to a strip bar every time he gets aroused or shows interest in you.
Oh, so that’s b-mail!
Yeah, Jean had gotten them before in past chapters; why would she think that they’re from Neil rather than from anyone whose genie?
Problems inherent in not growing up as a genie, but having it thrust on one.
Also, Kazom, who was supposed to be seeing to her education, thought that it would be more amusing to let her run around ignorant and make more headaches for Guano.
I think she’s gotten *one* before (“Beware the Blue Djinn”), and she had no idea what it was at the time. Makes sense that she’d fail to realize where it came from, given that she had no idea what the Blue Djinn was at the time.
Jean’s been getting them all the way back to the first chapter: https://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-6 & and even got confirmation about them coming from another genie: https://jeaniebottle.com/?comic=jeanie-bottle-84.
So it isn’t like the concept of that form of communication had been introduced recently. Jean is becoming more ditzy of late than usual.
I’d say that since she has not yet been told *why* notes have been appearing in her bottle, it’s entirely reasonable for her not to remember that they’re a genie communication mechanism.
I know Jeanie has never been the sharpest tool in the box, but throwing out those papers appearing in her totem without reading them first is a new level.
Yes. Personally I would be far too curious /not/ to read them …
Merry Christmas CD, and to all my fellow fans!

Neil, get your genie under control.
You know that’s not likely to happen with Neil, especially when he doesn’t view Jean as property but still an old high school friend/roommate. Besides Neil is able to speak up for himself when he needs to.
merry christmas C. D. and Robert
she should of read it before thowring it away :I
Do we get to see the Scarlet Avenger AKA RED in this series?’ She is on Neil’s computer.
Not here on JB, but she does feature prominently over at The Melvin Chronicles.
she is wearing a rather discrete outfit over there right now.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
Pannel 3, she has the look of a woman who is being ignored by her man. ” I’m right here but you don’t talk to me.”
And thus the first line of my description for this page. 🙂
To be fair to Neil, Jean was being indifferent with him of late for “someone else’s” actions and was literally snappy in their last conversation, along with here that Jean doesn’t follow-up with Neil to even asked what the notes were even about, if that helps sets the tone of their current relation status. They both clearly need to work on their communication skills.
*checks email*
Can do. AAAAHHHHHHHHH. This place is FULL of poison traps. Who poison traps EVERYTHING. NOOOOOO! My Avenger is . . . no, is dead. O.K., guys, pull it. We’ve got think this through again.
