Back from vacation!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
This replacement Jeannie is a coniving little up-start, which …. should make this very interesting … while there counting the sands, CD has to have come up with plenty of good ideas for his comics … cant wait to see what happenes next 🙂
I’m going to take Blue at face value: she loves being a genie, she enjoys pleasing her masters, and Neil really has hurt her feelings.
I’m very intrigued by the idea that, in a well-meaning attempt to not be overly-assertive, Neil is in fact being very selfish.
Scanning back, yeah, I really like it that Blue declares herself “Free at last!” and yet looks forward to being bound to a new master, even temporarily.
I think she has a very great deal to teach Neil about service, about kindness on terms that you yourself would not accept.
I suspect that she’s “free” in the sense that she hasn’t been out of her bottle for a very long time.
That, or her last master was a horrible, horrible person.
Yeah more sillyness. Ok made her cry in less than a minute, not good to do when someone can magic you anywhere.
C’mon, Neil, give the genie a hug, tell her she can stay.
Give her a wish to fulfill.
Have her explain things to you.
Be nice to her on her terms.
I’m sure he’s probably hungry again.
And now Neil will be forced to accept her Muahahaha. So peoples: Blue genie, is she devious or genuine?
Genuine, friendly, loyal, obedient. Perhaps a bit limited in intellect, and a bit impulsive, but basically, a real sweetheart.
But if Neil accepts her, she will be a true friend who can be of great assistance to Neil and Jeanie both.
I have a bad feeling she will not want to give Neil up, and start a contest/war between them … just a feeling 🙂
I hereby nickname the blue genie Juniper, for she is surely the root of blue ruin. (Yes, it is the mandatory Gin/Djinn joke, but come on, she’s blue and a djinn….)
The Auld Grump, do folks still call gin ‘blue ruin’?
I don’t think she is The Blue Ruin, but I like idea.
Juniper she is.
(All bets are off if her first name is Jennifer. My gosh, but that song put me into a shameful haze of romantic bliss when it came out. Can’t stand to listen to it now.)
Who’s the song originally by? Do you have a link to the lyrics? (Reason I ask, my internet setup won’t let me watch YouTube.)
It’s Donovan’s “Jennifer Juniper”:
Jennifer Juniper lives upon the hill,
Jennifer Juniper, sitting very still.
Is she sleeping ? I don’t think so.
Is she breathing ? Yes, very low.
Whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love ?
Jennifer Juniper, rides a dappled mare,
Jennifer Juniper, lilacs in her hair.
Is she dreaming ? Yes, I think so.
Is she pretty ? Yes, ever so.
Whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love ?
I’m thinking of what it would be like if she loved me.
You know just lately this happy song it came along
And I like to somehow try and tell you.
Jennifer Juniper, hair of golden flax.
Jennifer Juniper longs for what she lacks.
Do you like her ? Yes, I do, Sir.
Would you love her ? Yes, I would, Sir.
Whatcha doing Jennifer, my love ?
Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper.
Jennifer Juniper vit sur la colline,
Jennifer Juniper assise trs tranquille.
Dort-elle ? Je ne crois pas.
Respire-t-elle ? Oui, mais tout bas.
Qu’est-ce que tu fais, Jenny mon amour ?
Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper, Jennifer Juniper.
The lyrics do not convey the sheer hippy-dippy sweetness of the song. You’ve got to hear the music.
Does the blue genie clean herself by taking showers, or is she a Bathtub Djinn?
(Gin/Djinn joke number 2.)
And does she play on a blue guitar,
to change the things as they are?
In any event, I expect she’ll be quite a tonic for Neil.
At least she doesn’t have light brown hair.
SOMEBODY had to say it…
fake tears?
Now THAT’S the way to ensure job security!
She looks young
Yeah, probably not older than five, maybe six hundred years old.
OMfG Neil is an idiot! take the new genie! Take the new genie!!
Aww geez, Juniper! If Neil won’t have you, you can come and be MY genie! 🙂
I didn’t notice before because I was busy watching Blue Genie but in the last panel Neil has the first face that I’ve seen saying ”What the crap” and ”Oh shit” at the same time
This was a funny strip
that face in the third panel just makes you feel sorry for her 🙁
I’m glad to see that Araceli’s having fun and that you’re portraying her with this much personality. XD I hope to see more. 😀
Neil: I wish you’d stop crying.
Aracel: WAAAAAAAAAok.
Neil: Hey!
