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.
Yeah no way that Neil will have THAT much spine but if the big poo poo genie decides to punish her in some way then THAT would be enough for Neil to protect her though it will most likely be by stammering out some excuse crap instead of a full blown attack which I know some of these people really want to see (hint ?)
i thought it was going to be something draconic like genies being forbidden from having fun or something… but she really did do something bad (ignore an official summons)
“[Jeanie] really did do something bad (ignore an official summons)”
Except that she ignored “a note”; she didn’t know it was an official summons.
It’s clear that something has gone badly awry in the process of turning Jean into a genie: she’s received none of the training she should have had. She wasn’t given a choice, or even notice.
She’s had no reason whatsoever to think that the “note” she saw was an official summons.
And Guano dared challenge Neil, her Master, on this point, as if any of it is his fault.
Something’s way, way wrong here. Either somebody screwed up, or had actual malignant intent.
Jean isn’t dumb; he/she is just completely self-centered (narcissistic). Never mind the (obviously magical) appearance of a note in the bottle; I’m not taking time and reading it when I want to go surfing! Makes me kind of wonder how Neil and Jean ever got to be friends in the first place. (Also makes me wonder what kind of job Jean had to afford that large apartment–the one that Neil’s place fits inside of–before opening the bottle. Who employs people that self-absorbed, eh?) Especially after the scene where Jean imagines what the third wish would be if their situations were reversed.
Neil’s apt didn’t fit into Jean’s; rather, it was tucked into a pocket dimension or something. It didn’t take up any of Jeans apt, and it didn’t bulge into her neighbor’s apt, either.
Nevertheless, Jean complained about the size of Neil’s apartment, and how small it was compared to Jean’s, to the point where she wasn’t going to live there as his genie. Even with extra-dimensional rotation or some such to move Neil’s flat, somehow Jean had the bigger place. As a junior engineer (these characters are in their early to mid 20s, it looks like), Neil is making reasonable $$, one would think. How close are they to the beach? That would affect the price of apartments. Did Jean *poof* there, or walk in her bikini?
Anyway, Jean’s selfishness is going to keep her in hot water, I’d say. I wonder how soon her behavior is going to have Neil in the soup again, though. Of course, we still haven’t found out what’s in the book about a genie who stays with a master after his third wish.
In the TV series, Jeannie had a twin sister who was always up to no good; it’s beginning to look like Jean got her bottle!
“You sent her a summons? And failed to clear it with ME? How dare you interfere between a Master and his Genie!”
hahahah, just kidding. No way Neil has that much spine. Hope I’m wrong, but I’m not.
The Summons, of course, pairs Jeanie up with her trainer genie.

Nah – he just won’t think of it.
Also YaY for not getting up from Neil’s lap teehee
This should end in an interesting way.
Oh. That’s right. I forgot.
Jean is a terrible genie.
Maybe Mr. Guano should have texted.
Oh, come on – Jean hasn’t noticed what’s going on behind her?
Or, perhaps, i should say under her?

Neil probably can think of any think with jean’s ass grinding up his junk lol.

Early in the strip it’s stated he had a movie review blog.
How you make a living at that I don’t know.
Perhaps his family is rich

Notes. Why’d there have to be notes.
