I'm watching the complete series collection and I got curious about Roger Healey. No one seems to know the reason Healey is in the Army when there weren't any Army astronauts until 1976, eleven years after the show started its run and six after it ended production. And while Healey wears aviator's wings, he also wears the badges for the Army Corps of Engineers (castles on his lapels) instead of the Aviator's badge, a winged-propeller.

YEA! Forums finally work again!

Good Job Neko!

I Dream of Technicolor

I'm starting this thread as a place to discuss the most atypical story arc in Jeanie Bottle now that the arc is finished and we can't comment on it there. Right now I could be the royal "we" because no one else has posted anything on the Jeanie Bottle section of this forum since the day before I turned 66.

All the other arcs including the ongoing one (Story 10: I Dream of Verisimilitude) have been in the silly tradition of the Sidney Sheldon/Barbara Eden/Larry Hagman comedy, which I've loved for 52 years so far. Technicolor isn't. There's only one real gag in the entire arc, and it's in the short setup to the main narrative.

Prior to Technicolor, there was only one departure from the lighthearted spirit of the original series, this single strip in Story 4: I Dream of my Old Bottle. Until Technicolor, I thought this was a throwaway, put in as an extreme example to set up the line about Jeanie putting off that world domination idea. And maybe it was. But Technicolor makes it much more. Hitler's mistress in the Jeanieverse was a bottle genie, and she was punished by away her powers, making her mortal. Which is appropriate, although it would be nice if she lost her powers before she helped her master kill millions and millions of people. And then Eva's sister Rouyaa gets punished without delay for a much less serious breach even more cruelly, and ends up as old Ms. Eden.

Now, I actually like this arc. It's got tie-ins to real historical events that are in sync, and the characters seem more like real people--one of them is clearly Sidney Sheldon, who I'm pretty sure was real, although perhaps superhuman considering all he did in his long life. But it left me frustrated because it left some things hanging, such as:

When and why did Jeanie and Neil go back to 1969, and what did they do there?
Does Ms. Eden now know what happened to her old master, and that Jeannie is using her old bottle?

FIX THIS SUBFORUM PLEASE.

This section of the forum is still broken...

There's not much point in starting threads that can't be replied to.

What i'm more curious about though, is why this seems to be the ONLY area with this problem?

Kudos and appreciation to the artist.

I just wanted to express my gratitude to the creator of "I dream of a Jeannie bottle" (the web comic). It has given me so many hours of enjoyment and I know it is a difficult task without any material reward, putting out a comic strip of such quality for so long. Thank you.

It took me THIS LONG...

I've been reading "I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle" literally since the artist released the first strip, and it took me this long to get the joke about "Lord Guano"

Guano == Bat "droppings"

a.k.a. - Bat shit.

As in, "Lord Batshit"

The silent "Insane" makes his behavior make a LOT more sense.

More Static

Hurry up, I miss my favorite comic. I'm really curious about the revelations too.

Staticy nonsense
