Jeanie

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.

    So who was that watching Neil sleeping last week?

    I would say that Jean has never been to Haji’s palace before–she hasn’t–but then again, Jean was never on Omaha Beach, at least not on June 6th, 1944. So I guess it could be sleep-poofing.

    That said, let’s move on to something really important. Does anyone else think the window in the last panel is shaped like a penis?

    Forced sleep poofing it is, complete with pillows for a soft landing. Well, this will be the first time that we see Haji and Jeanie get to meet Haji too. Also Jeanie going to get a chance to see the castle and most of the Genie will get a chance to meet the new Genie too to there operation.

    I wonder how many of the male Genie’s will hit on Jeanie including Haji of course. I am also thinking that there will be looking for more female Genie belle dancers and I am sure that they will look Jeanie way too and I am sure that she will protest too.

        Sociopathic mass-murderers seem unlikely to maintain a harem …. for long.

    Ok… this episode plus the last one has left me a bit confused. Jeannie was talking to someone in her bottle, then she gazed at Neil when he slept, before poofing away. Now she wakes up and does not know where she is.

    Hopefully we get some answers in the next episode or two…

      We don’t know who she was talking to while she was in the bottle. Maybe we will find out later, but, it still an open question as to who she was talking to.

      When Jeanie poof away, she wasn’t awake, so she wasn’t conscious that she had poof away, until she woke up in frame two, three and four. So some people are referring to this as sleep poofing, because, she was asleep when she poof traveled to what I think is Haji Castle. Actually, it was Jeanie sleep poofing on auto-pilot or Haji doing a recall of all Genie’s.

    Living with with numerous harem women might push Jean’s personality further towards a 100% female mind. Harems are female only, no males except for a Sultan or Haji visit. Jean stuck with a bunch of female genies, trained to be submissive, belly dance, perfumed and beautiful. Determined to teach her how to be a proper girl genie.

    I imagine the palace is a mix of Hollywood and TV harems, like the film Kismet with Marline Dietrich, Dietrich does a famous harem belly dance with her legs painted gold. Do a Google search of, Dietrich Kismet, there are You Tube videos of that dance and pictures.

    Magic allows time travel, so Jean could spend many years or decades as a harem girl, and return only a few minutes after she poofed out the apartment. After years of indoctrination Jean might just have become a accomplished dancer. Next morning she’s wearing a costume like Dietrich’s with her legs painted gold and does a belly dance for Neil. Neil’s eyes pop wide, his jaw drops…

      Actually, there were male harem guards, typically eunuchs. (Not to be confused with Unix.)

        Actually, there isn’t a job description for being harem guard, they are usually captured men from some foreign country or male slave bought on the open market. Then they cut off there testicles and make them eunuchs so they can’t do anything with the girls even if they wanted to. In the old days when they made men eunuchs, there was about an 80% mortality rate on men that were made into eunuchs, because, they would bleed to death before they could heal up.

        So most of the men were pre-selected to be guards and did not volunteer to be guards.

        (Warning, this is a comedic recap of the entire third season of Reboot, an awesome computer animated cartoon from the 90s. If you haven’t seen the show, this will completely spoil the plot. It’s absolutely worth a watch, though, if you don’t mind the spoiler, just because it’s such a good parody.)

        Here’s a song you might enjoy, if you don’t know it already.

        BOOT IT
        (Sung to the tune of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”)

        You’re processing some words when your keyboard goes dead,
        Ten pages in the buffer, should have gone to bed,
        The system just crashed, but don’t lose your head,
        Just BOOT IT, just BOOT IT.

        Better think fast, better do what you can,
        Read the manual or call your system man,
        Don’t want to fall behind in the race with Japan,
        So BOOT IT.

        Get the system manager to

        BOOT IT, BOOT IT,
        Even though you’d rather shoot it.
        Don’t be upset, it’s only some glitch.
        All that you do is flip a big switch.

        BOOT IT, BOOT IT,
        Get right down and restitute it.
        Don’t get excited, all is not lost,
        CP/M, UNIX or MS-DOS,
        Just BOOT IT, boot it, BOOT IT, boot it,
        BOOT IT, boot it, BOOT IT, boot it…

        You gotta have your printout for the meeting at two,
        The system says that your job’s at the head of the queue,
        Right then the thing dies, but you know what to do, Just BOOT IT.

        You always get so worried when the system runs slow,
        And when it finally crashes, man you feel so low,
        But computers make mistakes (they’re only human you know)
        So BOOT IT,

        Call the local guru to

        BOOT IT, BOOT IT,
        Go ahead, re-institute it.
        If you’re not lucky, get the book off the shelf,
        But if you are, it’ll do it itself.

        BOOT IT, BOOT IT,
        Then go find the guy who screwed it!
        Operating systems are built to bounce back,
        Whether it’s a Cray or a Radio Shack,

        BOOT IT, boot it, BOOT IT, boot it,
        BOOT IT, boot it, BOOT IT, boot it…

        (Apologies for the length of the post!)

        The series wasn’t actually cancelled, it suffered an AuthorExistenceFailure. Mainframe Entertainment went out of business. The new owners did eventually publish a season 5, but in a different medium. A comic book released via a internet reader application.

      The problem with Jeanie finding other “humans turned genie” is that there are only so many archetypes for genies to be. We have Jeannie, Genie and Genie-Jafar (from Disney’s Aladdin), the two different genies from Disney’s Ducktales, Shazam (Shaq’s movie), the genie from the Arabian Nights story (which could give some variety since each person could think of it differently). So, which is the most popular version of a genie? Which one is going to have the largest portion of visibility?

      So far, we haven’t seen *any* “Disney” Genie’s or Shazams. We’ve seen one Jeannie.

      And it also begs the question: where do other genies come from in this universe? If they aren’t “used-to-be humans”, what are they?

    Here’s what I’m thinking: the Jeanie with no eyes wasn’t Jeanie, it was Araceli. The person she was watching over was her own master, Caley. No eyes = sadness she can’t stay to protect her, because she is going to protect Neil instead. The conversation in the bottle was two genies talking (Araceli and ?) about the Jeanie problem and how best to deal with it.

    In short, Jeanie didn’t sleep poof. She was poofed away by someone else for her own good and now someone else is posing at her, someone who wants to stay close to Neil and protect him without him knowing that someone isn’t Jeanie.

      The only two people in the story that are really into Neil are Araceli and Caley. Caley’s just a kid (as far as we know) and Araceli’s number-one priority is looking after Caley. That doesn’t leave any other genie we know about who knows Neil and Jeanie…

      Except maybe Rouyah. There’s nothing that says her powers can never be restored. She’s been Neil’s neighbor since he moved in, and there is the possibility that Technicolor led to her learning that Jean got her bottle.

      Rouyah trying to act like Jean brings up a lot of comic possibilities. First of all, Rouyah isn’t a jerk in any way. Second, Rouyah was never a man. Third, it is very doubtful that Rouyah knows how to surf. Fourth, Rouyah is bound to run into Belle at some point.

      I don’t know if Jeanie has to be a harem girl, but, she will probably be quartered there, because, that will be the only place that they can put her. Which means that Jeanie will probably get her hair done, get perfumed, get a body message. Of course this isn’t going to set well with Jeanie, but, then she may not have any choice, but,she has to go along with it. But, the body message, if she get one of those, will have a tendency to jump start her female desire that Jeanie has been able to keep in check up to this point, will kick in.

    When Jeanie was looking at sleeping Neil last week, she could have been thinking about waking him up to tell him what was worrying her. But maybe she changed her mind, went back to her bottle, finally got to sleep–only to wake up where she is now.

        How could you depict Jeanie being asleep, waking up, being surprised at her locale, and then showing the audience that she’s now in a harem in only 2 panels? You’d have to cut out the “being asleep and waking up” part, which would tell less story. And if you cut any one of these panels out, the transition from one state to another would be really abrupt.

    Why is Jeanie the only one with a hat? Why do some have veils and others do not? Why would djinni have a harem concept, which derives from human barbarian culture? (A barbarian chief owns his women to ensure the paternity of the children, but even male genies have owners/masters. And how do genies reproduce, such that a harem would be necessary?). I think it’s more of the girls club room. And wasn’t there a mixed group meeting earlier? Not possible with a harem–the term comes from a word meaning “forbidden.”

      June 30, 2017, 11:59 am | # | Reply

      Um… the word forbidden is actually ‘haram’

      Harem means ‘many pleasures’ I think- could be wrong there. As for why genies have this, one might as well ask why a genie grants wishes to mortals at all… some would consider them the demons of this world- or benign and neutral. Creatures of smoke… no physical form…

        Haram is an adjective. Harem is a noun. Arabic is a heavily inflected language, in which changes of vowel sounds and/or prefix/suffix are used to alter part of speech and meaning. Very different from English. Semitic languages depend on radicals of usually three consonants. In this case,h-r-m, from which various meanings are derived. The harem is forbidden to outsiders.

        BTW, the seclusion of women in Arab/Muslim culture came from Hindu practice, which is why the word for it is purdah, of Indo-European, rather than Semitic, origin. Means “curtain” and is related to “paradise,” which means a walled garden.

      Who says genie harems have anything to do with reproduction? They’re not humans, so there’s no inherent reason to believe they have sex for that purpose (if they have sex at all).

      As for hats and veils, that’s just fashion. Nobody likes looking exactly like all their peers.

        Uniforms are a deliberate measure to instill a sense of unity in a group.
        It’s a psychological technique to improve efficiency as the members of the group identify themselves with the collective, and also a useful way of being able to tell who your ‘buddies’ are and who the enemy is.

        Actually Kazom said that the number one way for a genie to come into existence was to be born a genie. That kind of implies that genies have sex. And then there’s the desire of Araceli’s heart to marry Neil.

        I don’t know if CD Rudd will ever elaborate on this, but Kazom’s statement can imply that sometimes human women give birth to genies, probably because either they or their men have genie ancestors. Hey, remember that Shantae is a half-genie.

        @Rock: That’s the military and strategic explanation. But that doesn’t account for why some people actually LIKE uniforms. (Both wearing them and being worn by others.)

        @ Kattgirl: Some people enjoy feeling they are part of a group, be it because that brings perks or simply because they need to belong.

        As for swooning over uniforms…. I think that hails back to old associations of those wearing uniforms being in government service, doing responsible work and having access to certain benefits. Getting in good with someone who can access those benefits – prestige, influence, superior goods – means some of it might trickle down. Or in some cases it’s probably just because the uniforms look dashing.

      I dunno – she’s not hanging out with a bunch of magazine writers, this time. These are other genies, just a powerful as Jean is, and most with a LOT more experience in using magic. I think she could get taken down a peg or two.

        I am with Kattgirl on this one. If Jeanie pull any crap this time like what she usually pulls with us mortal in the past, she going to get slap side way, turned up side down and turned cross way before she knows what happened. That before she runs into the Genie Lords that have even more power than the regular Genie and then we have Haji who has even more power.

        So do I think that Jeanie going to cool it for awhile until she get back to her bottle?

        No! I don’t think Jeanie going to team down her behavior in front of other Genie that have both more experience and possibly power to and in large numbers too. Jeanie will probably shoot her mouth off, just before she get trounced for shooting her mouth off or being disrespectful of other Genie.

        Which should make for an interesting arc and maybe a few surprises too.

    Where are the blue genies?
    Yknow, Kazom mentioned that due to Disney, there were a lot of blue genies among the new genies.

      Those blue genies all look like Robin Williams, and so they spend a lot of time getting their backs shaved.
