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.
It may be that Jean is stuck speaking Greek until either commanded to speak something else, or until her service to the Greek sailor is ended. I wonder if Neil still has enough of a hold over her vis-a-vis the rules of Genies that he could command her to speak English?
Way too easy. He will never think of it…….
On the other hand, Jeanie could zap him into understanding Greek. Then we could have the whole strip in a form none of us can understand!
Με means me.
χαστουκίζω means in German “Ohrfeigen”, which means to slap somebody hard on his cheek. There’s no direct english translation. Given what Neil just did, this translation makes sense:
I guess Jeanie has committed a serious fault by abandoning her master before having granted three wishes. And the sound must be caused by the appearance of Araceli’s master genie. In fact Araceli smiles at the last pane and she’s looking to the direction the sound comes from. She must have seen and recognized her former master genie.
It’s a pity, because Jeanie will be poofed back to the ship and it was another great chance for a genie fight 🙁
I have to say I’m liking Araceli less and less from her behaviour so far. If that is Lord Guano or another master Genie we’re back to which takes priority. The Genie contracts or the personal contracts. Yes Jeannie is a Genie but she is a Genie who voluntarily gave up most of her power to be with her master. Its one of those things that could go either way depending on how much protection new Genies have and if personal choices like that come under the Genie contract or act as a protection.
I’m going to cut Ari a lot of slack, because she’s been locked up in a bottle for centuries.
not only does that mean she’s probably more than a little crazy, at least absolutely desperate not to be sent back, but she’s an old school genie, who exists only to serve her Master.

Kosine? You did good last time with the translate.
Could we have a hand here with the translation?

Neil should ask red Jeannie (Aricell) for the ability to speak
whatever language is required for the situation.
Way too easy. He will never think of it…….
On the other hand, Jeanie could zap him into understanding Greek. Then we could have the whole strip in a form none of us can understand!
First panel something about “killing someone as slowly and painfully as I can.”
Something to do with stray dogs
Slapping.
Last panel is “What’s that noise?” I think.
I still don’t get it? How can Neil KNOWS that Jeanie IS Jeanie?
Because red-Jeanie is acting like Araceli, while blue-Jeanie looks like Jeanie (except for clothing color) and definitely acts like Jeanie.
oh,good point
I’m guessing that last panel is a reaction to a newly promoted Ionian Sea Captain saying “Get back here!” or the Greek equivalent thereof.
Θα την σκοτωσω την καριολα οσο ποιο αργα και βασανισ τικα μπορω.
Would kill bitch slowly and as much as what I can progressively be torture.
Μετα θα την σιγοψηεω και θα την ταισω στα αδεσποτα σκυλια.
Post will sigopsieo and the feeding the stray dogs.
Με χαστουκισεσ.
With chastoukises.
Τι ειναι αυτοσ ο θορυβοσ.
WHAT IS THIS NOISE.
4th panel:
Με χαστουκισεσ
I think it means: You slapped me in the face.
Με means me.
χαστουκίζω means in German “Ohrfeigen”, which means to slap somebody hard on his cheek. There’s no direct english translation. Given what Neil just did, this translation makes sense:

Can anyone say Lord Guano?

Via Google Translate and a virtual Greek keyboard, with my own amplifications, clarifications, and wild guesses tossed in:
Panel 1: “I’ll kill the [characterization redacted] as slowly and painfully as I can!”
Panel 2: “And then I’ll feed her corpse to stray dogs!” (Some guessing, here; “ΣΙΡΟΨΗΣΩ” and “ΤΑΪΣΩ” didn’t back-translate very effectively.)
Panel 3: “You slapped me!”
Panel 4: “What is that noise?”
he should go back, grab bottle and give it (forcefeed) the bottle back to Ari.
