Chapter: Story 18: I Dream of... Jeannie
Huh, I wonder what exactly they mean by that description…
Oh wait, it’s in the banner. 🙂
If you can’t see the new banner, try various ways to do a forced-refresh. That’s usually by holding Shift while pressing the refresh button on a browser, or possibly by digging into the browsing cache settings on your phone. Phones sometimes make it really bloody annoying to clear your browser cache, tho.
So, jean might have made Babra never happened time for the time travel call back from a couple years ago in timey whimey. Love the banner.
It can’t have been then. Both Neil & Rog saw Jean looking like Barbara Eden at the beginning of the last arc. Not in full genie clothing, but definitely not like Jasmine in appearance.

This is going to be interesting.
Very nice banner. OK, now i am confused.
I wonder if this finally leads us back to Jeanie & Neil being back in the past, overlapping with Rouyaa, Andy, & Sid back in “I Dream of Technicolor.”

I also hope this ends up with getting Ms. Eden Royyaa found in the present and freed from her captivity.
Already free, a snow globe fell off of a table and broke the bottle she was in. She popped up full size and still looking half her previous age.
I forgot that part. I still hope this leads to her discovery and integration into the greater group, in perhaps an advisory role to give a different perspective from Lahab. The, hopefully coming, time travel could lead Jean and Neil to learn more about her background and lead them to try to make contact.
She looks a lot like what she did when having that sneezing episode

I believe that was also an intentional Jasmine reference.
Robert, I realize that this is off subject and I apologize, but is there any reason why Pixie Rangers II 108 hasn’t been unlocked yet? It’s been months.
That’s odd. I can see 108, but 110 is missing.
Sorry about that. I must have forgotten to set an early access date on page 108. It’s public now.
Shadow, you might not have been able to find 110 because I’d mis-named it “Pixie Ranger I” instead of “Pixie Rangers II”. That’s now also fixed.
For those interested in what we’re talking about, CD’s other active comic, Pixie Rangers, is viewable on his patreon for free a month after they go up for paid members.
Oh no. They got Barbara Eden!
Those bastards!
Barbara Eden’s real name is Kenny?
Who knew?
Are you preparing the ground for a change of clothes, body and style? xD
Maybe….
Well, this answers the question of what Neil and Rodge think Jeanie should look like. What it doesn’t answer is what Madeline saw. Did she see Barbara Eden or a Disney character, and if the latter, how could she possibly have associated Jean with either a cartoon or Naomi Scott?
And why don’t those two doofuses remember Barbara Eden?
Timey-wimey stuff. Nobody is currently seeing or has seen Jeanie as Jasmine since Madeline showed up, but something happened (via time travel, probably) that caused “I Dream of Jeannie” to either not have aired, or to have ended early. Something may have happened to Barbara Eden to cause this. Jeanie was unaffected by this shift, likely due to it being something she did in the past but in the future of her personal timeline.
I would go with the ‘ended early’ theory. If you’ll recall, during that exchange between Sid and Andy (pages 382-383), they were discussing the episode in which Sid recreated a situation in which Rouyaa was trapped in a safe. She wasn’t happy about it going public on the show. If Rouyaa did something, it might have cut the show short, and it may not have become as popular as it was. That happened in season 3, “Genie, Genie, Who’s Got the Genie? Parts 1-4.” Without the final one and a half seasons, Jean might have become besotted with Jasmine as his favorite genie sex symbol.
For some reason I imagine Christopher Lloyd is going to barge in and shout something like “Jean! Your very existence in in danger! To fix it we have to go BACK… TO THE FUTURE!”
Did I just do a spoiler?
“Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t *need* roads.”
*hops on a magic carpet*
Oh, I sure hope so! That would be fun!
Shame. How could anybody forget Barbara Eden?
After watching “voyage to the bottom of the sea” you are right. No one could forget that dance.
Comic canon is new genies appearing according to their idea of how genies should look. If no I Dream of Jeannie, Jean should have wound up being blue, like the genie from Aladdin. How does it make sense to appear like Jasmine from the same show?
Because Jean’s a dog.
ROTFL!
The new post on the Patreon actually explains this.
Regardless of what the Patron explanation revealed, the sequel to Aladdin actually has the genie Jafar assume Jasmine’s form. She wasn’t in red, though.
Could be a wish gone bad. Neil could be a rich Texan who doesn’t get on well with his family, Rodge could be an airline navigator working out of Chicago and best friends with a psychologist, and Jean could be Mayor of Harper Valley, Ohio.
Bewitched, Dukes of Hazard, Gilligan’s Island, and who can forget, and now The Twilight Zone. All great mashups.
You’re traveling through another dimension — a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of gender-bending.
How dare anyone erase Barbara Eden! (Not that Jasmine genie isn’t fine too.)
I think Panel 4 has the crucial clue: Rodge has never heard of Barbara Eden. So something may have happened to erase her from history, thus changing the default form that Neil and Rodge are used to seeing Jeannie in.
Now, we just have to track down what caused this. Current candidates are: Madeline, the ice cream girl, Araceli, or the mysterious chest on the bottom of the sea.
My guess is the Ice Cream girl.
I saw the banner last night and wondered what that was about lol
Love the new header, all that luscious hair 🙂
Yeah, I wish mine had that kind of volume.
Then you’ll love the new Extra on the patreon. It’ll be public in a month if you’re not a member.
Somehow Jeanie is in a parallel dimension where there was never any Barbara Eden and so she transformed into Jasmine.
And as Jeanie has already slept with himself, then hi-jinks more to her liking ensue.
Shoot. Until I looked at the banner, I thought we were introducing Jeanie’s evil sister, Evil Jeanie. Not this time.
I think Araceli is supposed to be the one filling that role.
NAFISA! What did you do?!
Ok….this is starting to get weird.
Well, weirder than usual.
Just what the cuss is going on here?!?! And why is Jean’s “true form” a red princess jasmine genie? And how did it even get on the banner so fast?
Also,why does Barbara Eden exist in this situation anymore?
She doesn’t have to be a famous actress. She could be an unfamous singer.
I mean Why doesn’t Barbera exist anymore?
What makes you think she doesn’t exist? There are 7 billion people. For them to not have heard of her, she just has to not be famous.
This could mean a trip to Egypt with Ifta.
Jean seems to have come to the realization that “slutty” is an insult and “hot” is not… at least when it applies to her.
Progress, of a sort?
