Jean AKA Jeannie AKA Jeanie, is a film, book and magazine reviewer for a national magazine. Most of Jean’s work is done through e-mail, which means he does not have to go into the office.
On a trip to find a gift for his girlfriend, Jean found a 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 to look like, which due to his fascination with a classic 60s TV show turned into a bust young Blonde female.
A junior engineer, who works 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 somehow became Jean’s master.
the Land Shark is considered the cleverest of all sharks. Unlike the Great White shark, which tends to inhabit the waters and harbors of recreational beach areas, the Land Shark may strike at any place, any time. It is capable of disguising its voice, and generally preys on young, single women.
Ummm, I do believe that the Land Shark’s last appearance was something like thirty years ago. Apparently I’m not the only one old enough to remember Chevy Chase.

The goliath tigerfish (the one shown in that article) is a freshwater fish that was caught in the Congo River in Africa. The reason the article made a point of the fisherman going after it is because it’s one of the most dangerous fishes alive. It is not a saltwater fish, never was a saltwater fish, and would die pretty quickly if it somehow got into salt water.
The reason this fish is so dangerous is because it’s been known to attack and eat crocodiles, and some species of African tigerfish have been observed to attack and catch birds in flight.
Oh, I think Florida FWC is going to have something to say about the whole issue, if they happen to show up in time. Don’t know what the fines are, but they charge per fish and I counted at least 5 in that last panel. 😀
Freshwater fish can live in salt water just fine, and vice versa. They just won’t live past an hour or so. The salt water will draw water out of their bodies until they die (opposite for saltwater fish in fresh water). This doesn’t happen instantaneously – it takes some time. We used to feed goldfish (freshwater) to puffers (saltwater) all the time. There are lots of videos of this on YouTube.
A few fish can cope with both. Some of the earliest recorded shark attacks were by bull sharks in rivers.
Jean’s gonna be down to just that leotard (i assume, since it’s what she was exercising in, right?) in a couple minutes if those sweat pants keep sliding.
In fact, they slipped some more – off her left hip – between Panel One and Panel Three.
I foresee her losing the duel because she tries to take a step, not noticing that her pants have fallen around her ankles and falls flat on her cute little button nose.
Interesting fact about Piranha’s – contrary to myth, they will *not* attack humans. (…Unlike that goliath thing Robert linked too. 0,o ) I wouldn’t want to test this myself, but it’s apparently possible to wade into their waters with a big bit of beef: They’ll eat the meat, and won’t even touch you. (Not like they *couldn’t* strip us to the bones… but we’re large, and they’re not interested. 8U )
LUCKY FOR JEAN, HUH????????????????????????????
(I do hope they manage to become friends after all this, though. ;; )
And Piranha’s cannot live in salt water (They live only in rivers with whitewater), that’s just a myth that they can. In truth a Piranha shall died very quickly in true salt water. Of course, the two might be in a harbour or bay and that would be fresh mixed with salt water. So they could survive there for a very limited time. It has a cousin that does go into the oceans, and are mistaken for piranha. Piranha are kept as pets and almost never attack humans. Its believed Human blood mixed with skin oils make themselves untasty.
Sam is going to loose because she cannot think big. It turns out that Jeannie seems ton be the smarter of the two. But I have to wonder what that life guard is doing. If this keeps up, he might have to call the National Guard! So much for my theory about not hurting each other!
I know what Neil and Derick are doing! There is a lifeguard on the beach, most likely watching the whole thing. I’m wondering what he’s doing about it.
Ring ring, ring ring click “Hi boss, look I’m sorry but I’m going off duty . . . yeah I know its short notice I’ll take down the flags till you get someone out here . . . look I’m sorry but I’m sick, or drunk, or not drunk enough.”
I wonder when Sam is going to notice that Jean can cast without moving a muscle. In fact she can cast in the middle of a conversation! Of course Jean’s weakness is her connection to her bottle, but Sam has no way of knowing this and if she did they wouldn’t be fighting.
Both contestants have only used elements and wild life so far. They have yet to attack the other directly with magic. So no sex or age changes as of yet.
I think (s)he has enough of a sense of self-preservation (and has probably watched enough movies/anime/etc. featuring them to know that that won’t end well for her either) to avoid that. Godzilla seems like a definite candidate, though.
If the bottle doesn’t wind up in the dead letter office, I guess there’s a fair chance that it could raise a flag at Homeland Security–remember the MiB’s from Homeland Security way back in Story 5?
Just wanted to say, I’m loving this I haven’t read this comics since it first started now I’m slapping myself from ever leaving this behind I hope you continue to do this for as long as reasonably possible
Oh, she will, she has experience with summoning sharks.
In fact, what’s that right behind Sam?

Ah but behind Sam is something even worse than that its the loan Shark.

CANDY-GRAM!
Someone should tell Sam that Piranhas are a FRESH water fish.
Do you know what I found on google when I went to check that “piranha” was spelled correctly? This: http://news.travel.aol.com/2010/10/21/fisherman-catches-rare-giant-piranha/
If that monster wants to live in salt water, I’m not gonna argue with it!
What’s this about the Piranha being a monster?
Piranha cannot live in salt water. However its larger cousin can and it appears that is what the fisherman caught…It’s a common mistake, many make it.
Reading comprehension, people.

I’ve been thinking swimsuit myself.
OK, I abandon my “witches hate water” speculation.
Gosh darn, those two girls are cute! Especially, as noted, Jeanie’s slipping sweat pants.
In fact, they slipped some more – off her left hip – between Panel One and Panel Three.
I foresee her losing the duel because she tries to take a step, not noticing that her pants have fallen around her ankles and falls flat on her cute little button nose.
I should know this one, but who is your avatar on this comment. It almost looks like JollyJack’s OC Chloe, but not quite.
It’s from Sequential Art, so you’re close; Vanity Thorne, Kat’s University roommate and goth poet.
The background is another picture entirely.

Argh. This board doesn’t make links clearly visible. Clicj\k here: http://electronictiger.net/vc.jpg
I can see these two becoming fast friends. Look out world!
hot!
bring on the jello!!

I wouldn’t go wading with an open wound though. Piranhas attack injured and bleeding and dead animals.
And Piranha’s cannot live in salt water (They live only in rivers with whitewater), that’s just a myth that they can. In truth a Piranha shall died very quickly in true salt water. Of course, the two might be in a harbour or bay and that would be fresh mixed with salt water. So they could survive there for a very limited time.

I might point out that being a Witch, Sam can make saltwater piranha if she wants.
Wah WAh WAH WAAAAAHHH~!!!
Sam is going to loose because she cannot think big. It turns out that Jeannie seems ton be the smarter of the two. But I have to wonder what that life guard is doing. If this keeps up, he might have to call the National Guard! So much for my theory about not hurting each other!
Somehow, a couple of extra n’s snuck in there. Sorry!
If you are referring to the two guys on the beach there, that’s Sam’s husband and Jean’s vict… I mean, Master, talking to each other.
The lifeguard and whoever he was talking too are probably offscreen to the left or right.
Took a look they’re to the left of the fence when facing the beach and this duel is well within their line of sight.
I know what Neil and Derick are doing! There is a lifeguard on the beach, most likely watching the whole thing. I’m wondering what he’s doing about it.
Ring ring, ring ring click “Hi boss, look I’m sorry but I’m going off duty . . . yeah I know its short notice I’ll take down the flags till you get someone out here . . . look I’m sorry but I’m sick, or drunk, or not drunk enough.”
Yeah, that would be one option, especially if he must make a quick change of his swim suit!
Uhoh, sam may need to jump over a shark in the next strip!
I wonder when Sam is going to notice that Jean can cast without moving a muscle. In fact she can cast in the middle of a conversation! Of course Jean’s weakness is her connection to her bottle, but Sam has no way of knowing this and if she did they wouldn’t be fighting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvCI-gNK_y4 heheheheh.
Imagine if Jean summoned a Megalodon; oh, the look on Sam’s face would be priceless.
Forgot the skinny-dipping hippie.
Never underestimate a genie that used to be an immature misogynistic guy. NEVER!
Now I find myself if being a witch is, like being a Wotch, gender specific.
Personally, I might have tried to summon “Monstro” http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/File:Monstro_smash.jpg
Not quite like being a wotch. The male version of the witch is the warlock.
What is the female equivalent of a wizard or a mage?
Sorcerer and sorceress are obvious pendants.
Wizardess and Womage.
Actually I believe mage is gender neutral and can apply to male or female mages equally.
I AM a witch and I do mainly use my magic for TG XD
Both contestants have only used elements and wild life so far. They have yet to attack the other directly with magic. So no sex or age changes as of yet.
This could escalate quickly…Jean is the only one likely to stoop to summoning a tentacle monster, however.
I think (s)he has enough of a sense of self-preservation (and has probably watched enough movies/anime/etc. featuring them to know that that won’t end well for her either) to avoid that. Godzilla seems like a definite candidate, though.
This is the girl who wound up bound and gagged because she kept mouthing off to the genie who showed up to explain things.
Yeah, Senko has a point. Jeanie has been shown time and again to have very little in the way of common sense.
Case in point summoning a shark while your standing in water, of course summoning pirahna isn’t that bright either.
Piranhas and now sharks? What next?!
Spiny Norman.
Jean should just step out of those sweat pants they are just a hindrance.
I am loving the silly fight.
I wonder when or if Sam will wonder why Jeanie is wearing a hat with a swimsuit.
Well obviously because she intended to go swimming later but doesn’t want to get sunburnt.
She wore that hat while surfing very early in this strip. She can take it off, so I guess she likes it!
In the words of Dr Who “Fez’s are cool.”
I THINK THEY SHOULD RUN INTO ARACELI on that beach.
Hmm, interesting idea, but her bottle is actually in transit by mail right now, rather than anywhere in the ocean.
But that doesn’t preclude some other bottle washing up on the beach… maybe the totem of one of Araceli’s sisters? (see the contest entries at http://cdrudd.deviantart.com/art/Genie-contest-Entries-175630683)
I thought her bottle was being shipped to a beach in Florida but I found it was a different beach. a Coke Coal Beach

If the bottle doesn’t wind up in the dead letter office, I guess there’s a fair chance that it could raise a flag at Homeland Security–remember the MiB’s from Homeland Security way back in Story 5?
