Chapter: Jeanie Bottle Holiday Special
Huh. Jean’s being surprisingly nice. I guess the Christmas Spirit has infected affected her greatly.
And by popular demand, here’s Jeanie as Santa!
(Click for full size)
Jean did the right thing for the right reasons.
Surprising, huh!
Astounding is more the word. 😉
But I’m sure that the balance of nature will reassert itself soon.
@Kattgirl: I’d say, rather, that this is the balance of nature reasserting itself. The Genie Nature reasserting itself over Jeanie’s selfish nature.
And, dare I say it, Jeanie’s womanly nature asserting itself. I can’t really imagine Jean doing or saying these things.
I stand by my “may-as-well-be-his-wife” Just look at these two! Jeanie can barely hold back her femenie side in the last panel! Also, I like her new casual outfit!
I said that way back when most people didn’t see it, but, I also said that it going to be at the end of the series or near the end of the series. Like the TV I dream of Jeanie, when Jeanie married Major Nelson, everybody knew it was the beginning of the end of that series. It went on for another year, but, it was winding down as a TV series. Like the TV series, the Jeanie bottle will be winding down when that happens. So I don’t see that happening any time soon, because, there still plenty of thing he can do with this series before CD Rudd chooses to do that. Both you and 50srefugee are right about Jeanie and her increasing acting more and more girl like and even more like a girlfriend even, but, it a slow sliding in that direction process. There still a lot of Jean in Jeanie to field many more things in the future too, before Jean cease to act like Jean and act more like Jeanie the female blond Genie that has a mother kind of spirit about her.
Remember this whole series revolve basically around Jean becoming Jeanie and once that process is complete, it basically the end of the Jeanie Bottle series.
The Melvin Chronicle revolve around Melvin and his three friend with one of them becoming a girl and once that been run out, that will be the end of that series too.
Notice what happened in Panel 2:
I don’t think that Jeanie just dressed Neil as Santa – that mustache & beard look real: she actually transformed him!
Maybe we’ll see Jeanie kissing Santa Claus in the finale?
Just don’t let her hear you call her “Mommy”. 🙂
He didn’t notice that she’s wearing a different top? Was she wearing it under her hoodie, or is Neil just being an engineer again?
Distracted by the dust. Also maybe “What happened to you?” encompasses the clothing change?
He probably noticed, all right, but Jeanie changes her clothing and even basic appearance, so often, and so quickly, that I’m sure he’s blasé about it by now.
@Kattgirl and Robert – I feel you guys are right. Her new top is just different enough from her old one that no mention of it seems suspicious to me.
Well, if some one else where to see it and mention it other than Neil, that would be different and Neil would probably help Jeanie out there, because, they don’t know that Jeanie is a Genie.
Actually, I just realized that the old top was a grey hoodie, so it’s also possible she just took it off and had the pink underneath. Or at least people might think that.
Somehow, I am betting that that beard is a lot more real than the one he planed on wearing, so don’t pull it. And, he may have just put on more than a few pounds.
Jeannie in three delicious outfits. 😛
Yes, indeed! She’s really showing off, this holiday season. 🙂
@Carlos: ‘I stand by my “may-as-well-be-his-wife…”’
I’m going to have to acknowledge she’s at least getting there. Still has to cope with the Master aspect, though.
And yes, sex and possibly even kids is a big part of “husband and wife”. I don’t know either Jeanie or Neil is quite ready for that, yet.
But this is a huge step for Jeanie. This is her respect and even admiration for Neil making an appearance. This is her laying the foundation for honestly accepting him as her master for all the right reasons and in all the right ways.
This is Jeanie placing his needs, and the needs of others generally, above her own, and I’m very pleased with that.
Beautiful moment, CD. A great and fitting Christmas gift!
Of all our regular commenters, I definitely expected you to like this page a lot. 🙂
I know I’m supposed to hate being predictable, but…no, actually, I’m kvelling over your comment.
Thank you!
I don’t know what “kveeling” means, lol.
“Kvell” is a yiddish word that means, roughly, a warm feeling that glows in your belly and makes you rock back and forth with happiness. (Thank you, Harlan Ellison for that definition.)
Ohhh, I’ve never heard that one before. I know “kvetching”, though. heh (my mom’s family is Jewish)
Sex and Kids might come later. At this moment, Anton and Jeannie would make two lovers or even newlyweds. And who knows, shouldn’t there be some mistletoes hanging at that a christmas party?
@Hippos2, re: Mistletoe. There should be some hanging around, yes–although since this is a kid’s party, maybe not.
But I have to say, I don’t want Jeanie to use that excuse. I want her to hug Neil and give him a good solid knee melting smooch simply because he deserves it, and she really does want to kiss him that much.
And, yes, I want Neil to kiss her back. None of this nerdish startled backing off. He might want to control his hands, though. Shoulders and waist only, until further signaling protocols grant wider interface access.
===
I’d love to see Jeanie break away, a bit breathless, and try to joke it away–only to have Neil, her Master, draw her back into an even closer embrace. Her eyes go wide, for a moment, and then she melts against him….
Yeah, yeah, I know. Cliche. But some cliches are cliche for a reason.
Just once, I want to see the girl to go all goofy and shy instead of the guy.
Although I’ve said something of the sort in the last day or two, I feel compelled to say it again:
This is exactly why Jeanie won’t be punished for giving the space program a boost. She did this for the kids, and for Neil, not her own aggrandizement, nor for a misplaced nationalism. It’s small scale, and for the right reasons.
Jean really seem to come around to accept who she is now.
Yes, but she’s only temporarily in control.
The Blue Djinn will take over again as soon as CD returns from wherever.
That could work one of two way. It could pull Jeanie away from this kind of stuff or it could drive into it even deeper. Jeanie still a free willed being and she still can make choices on her own. What I see happening is Jeanie waffling between being controlled by her Male human nature of Jean and the Blue Djinn and Jeanie new nature of being a Female Blond Jeanie that has a mother spirit about her. When Jean was a guy, he was a real jerk and a very self centered person that served himself before other, but, he wosn’t an evil person like the Blue Djinn is. Jean has been Jeanie long enough now, that he might even miss being Jeanie although he or she hasn’t consciously made the decision to be a female genie. We know that Jeanie has already decided that she want to remain a Genie, but, a guy genie.
@Sam Well, ti be honest we don’t know WHEN this december is happening, Ok, that’s a weird sentence, but what I mean, being this a special, even if it seems canon so far, it could take place before or after the Blue Djinn storyline, we don’t know yet.
Carlos is right. This xmas special is canon, but it is not taking place at the same time as the ongoing story with the Blue Djinn.
It’s like you’re married to him.
Lucky he deserves it.
But does she?
I’m just waiting to see if that beard and/or fat is real.
[Sees next strip]
As real as anything can be with a genie around.
when they kiss under the mistletoe we’ll see if Jean does the traditional heel kick.
What, that thing where a girl lifts one foot up and bends it back at the knee?
Yeah, that’s a cute thing. Also cute: standing on tiptoe to kiss or hug.
The tiptoe thing isn’t cute when the guy has to bend over to meet the tiptoer. I’m 6’4″ and my . . . fiance (that’s gonna take some getting used to, geez) is 4’9 1/2″. It gets awkward, trust me.
Whoa, that’s a big height difference!
He Who Abides: It’s devastatingly cute for those of us watching, trust me.
@Robert – What can I say? Love cares not for height differences.
YOU FOOL! YOU’VE MESSED WITH THE NATURAL ORDER!
