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.
Huh, I’ve never heard it called that, so it took me a while to place what you meant. I think what I’d use to describe that is “razor wire” or “barbed wire”.
That’s the idea, Robert, but if you get a close look at the stuff, it’s not actually composed of wire, but a thin strip of sheet metal with blades cut into it, which is why they refer to it as a “ribbon”. Pretty vicious deterrent.
Your defenses will do nothing while your both asleep Nat, don’t you remember Jeanie unconciously poofing herself on top of you then poofing you to a strip club when she woke up to find you had . . . erected a monument to her overnight.
Old timey solution for engaged but not yet married couples staying with one set of parents or the other: One person sleeps under the sheet, one on top.
Yeah… can there be a serious talk between Rodge and Neil after this chapter? He’s borderline r’ing her just for s*x. Also, he’s acting extremely pathetic by basically begging for pity sex. He’s basically Zap Branigan, except worse.
And can we skip the Guiligan’s Island stuff please -_- It’s just not my favorite tv series.
As an engineer Nat should know that a wall is only as good as the materials it’s made from. Ask the three little pigs, you need brick to stop a persistent wolf. Cloth will not be sufficient.
I hope we soon get an explanation from Rodge about why he called Nat his fiancee and then started acting childishly. And why his hand is there.
What are the chances that they find a seventh castaway already stranded on the expected island? They are one person short of the original Minnow’s group, after all. Perhaps they may encounter someone named Harold who just happens to look a lot like Bob Denver?
Claudette Colbert’s Ellie Andrews would be utterly dismayed that an engineer built such an ineffectual wall.
Neil/Natalie has a problem that is pretty subtle in some ways. Ridge is a co-worker and normally a friend. They’ve had some real bonding experiences together, like being turned into mice. At one time, Natalie thought she was in love with him.
But he’s being an asshole and if she did report him, if she could report him, he could be fired and his life ruined. But how can she report him without being able to convince authorities of just how this could happen. And yes, Rodge is a friend, N/N does not want to destroy his life even if she could report him.
Put a little lemon juice or vinegar in that water pistol, Nat.
An odd thought, what if Nat ultimately becomes the sexual aggressor in this situation. Neil and Araceli very recently shared the same body with Neil in control. What if Araceli was having a very romantic dream of being with her “master” and that ended up of her taking control, through a mental link, of Natalie as she slept. She is sleeping next to a very sexually charged/ frustrated, male body for the night.
Interesting thought, but Araceli isn’t the least bit interested in Rodge. I believe that for Araceli the very thought of making it with Cheese Pasta Man would be the equivalent of a cold shower.
It wouldn’t be Rodge she is dreaming about but Neil. Rodge would be a just male stand in for her dream fantasy lover. She would be sick if she knew it was Rodge
Rodge, seriously buddy. No means no.
The guy just can’t take a hint nor a shot to the face.
Great Idea to keep Rodge at bay for the night.
Should have loaded it with at least 90% capsicum.
Where are those ghost peppers when you need ’em?
Try lemon juice.
He can take that cookie and stick it up his YEAH!
Hahahaha, oh man that’s a deep cut.
If that squirter is loaded with cold water, it shouldn’t be Rodge’s FACE that Natalie is aiming at.
They’re at sea. It’s probably loaded with sea water i.e. salt.
Should’a gotten a real gun to discourage him.
Too many things could go wrong, including sinking the boat.
Agreed. A Taser would be better. And more fun to watch in action.
Knowing Rodge, that “wall” should be topped wth razor ribbon.
Huh, I’ve never heard it called that, so it took me a while to place what you meant. I think what I’d use to describe that is “razor wire” or “barbed wire”.
They used to call it a “Bundling Board”.

Natalie should sleep head to toe, so if Rodge tries anything in the night, it would be easy for Nat to give him a “Boot To The Head”!
Ooh, mean.
You’d think by now Rodge would get the point of what “no” means.
Makes me wonder if he’s under some sort of magic compulsion. He’s usually not this persistent.
The question would be, by whom? This insistence to go boating with Natalie goes back to before Jeanie transformed Neil.
I think we might see the answer to that in the very next comic.

“And can we skip the Guiligan’s Island stuff please -_- It’s just not my favorite tv series.”
I’m afraid that ship has already sailed.
Maybe there’s a volcano on this island.
As in “Joe Versus the Volcano?” Would there be waterproof steamer trunks?
Maybe a “where genies go to bathe in lava” volcano.
Could also be ‘Pleasure Island’.
So it would be some sort of Mysterious Island? Maybe even with submarine in said volcano?
Natalie, you need to keep the squire gun clean. A little bit of vinagear goes a long way. It works on dogs too.

at least it’s not the newspaper.
Why do I suspect this is leading up to the moment when Rodge winds up turned into a girl
That might be the answer to the jeanie magic problem. Bodyswap Roj and Nats, turn Rojs into Neil

treating him like a misbehaving feline is fully justified at this point, IMO.
He’s not a Big Bad Wolf, he’s just a bad tomcat.
Come on, just do it already, all of that cat and mouse stuff is getting old.
Ignoring the back story, this looks like a man pressuring a woman to have sex. Not a good look.

Yeah, Nat’s in a pickle here, for sure. I wonder how this situation is going to develop…
