** The reason Jean transforms to look like Jeannie from ''I Dream of Jeannie'' is because he's a fanboy of that series and that's how he ''expected'' genies to look.

''[[http://jeaniebottle.com/index.php I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle]]'' is a comic series by CD Rudd (also the author of ''[[SailorSun SailorSun.org]]''), in which two male friends come across an empty genie bottle. One of them (Jean, an unabashed ''Series/IDreamOfJeannie'' fanboy) opens it and is [[KarmicTransformation transformed into the bottle's new occupant]] while the other (Neil) becomes her master. As can be expected, HilarityEnsues.

Because the comic is somewhat based on the iconic [[Series/IDreamOfJeannie television series]], expect many of the same situations to apply.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Genie costumes are color coordinated with their bottles. When Jean trades bottles with Aracelli their costumes swap colors as well.
* ComedicSociopathy: Jean has little regard for the consequences of her actions unless they come to harm herself. Had their situations been reversed with Neal becoming the [[GenderBender female]] genie, Jean would have been only too happy to use his wish to "do" Neal. She turned a nerd into a girl and later chose not to turn him back due to more concern over her own problems and possibly even spite. While her reason for turning a ship captain into a woman was understandable, her DisproportionateRetribution against a friend of the captain was less so. She regularly abuses people, especially [[ButtMonkey Neal]], for her own needs, without any respect at all for theirs. This trait of hers is usually PlayedForLaughs.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Jeannie is mortified when Belle reveals that Neil (whom Jeannie had disguised as Jean) is a much better lover than Jean ever was (probably because Neil's a lot less selfish.) Her solution? Sleep with Neil herself to find out what makes him so good in bed.
* CluelessChickMagnet: Neil has two genies fighting over him, probably because he's a nice guy who does not try to take advantage of them as Jeannie fears and Aracelli has probably experiecnced.

* MorphicResonance: Jeannie cannot alter her appearance (other than her apparent age) and always wears at least one item of genie apparel, usually her hat.
* MundaneUtility: Jean uses genie powers for everything to the point where one wonders how he'd go back to getting along without them.
* MsFanservice - Jean.Jean, and apparently it's mandatory



* ThirdLawOfGenderBending - The harem outfit comes with Jean's duties, but early in the series, she spent a whole comic using her powers to experiment with female clothing (including a ''Franchise/SailorMoon''-esque magical girl, [[ComicBook/{{X-Men}} Rogue]] and KimPossible's cheerleader outfit) in a "G-rated" ManIFeelLikeAWoman montage.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Tsundere}}: Jean is definitely a Type A, as befits the comic's anime influence. She's remarkably possessive of Neil even as she's constantly complaining about her situation, though this might just be a mandatory aspect of the master/genie relationship. Belle calls her on it as seen in the page quote.

* AttractiveBentGender
* AuthorAppeal - Obviously, but even more so than in his [[SailorSun other]] WebComic.
* BareYourMidriff
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor - Inherent in the premise.
* BecomingTheGenie
* BiggerOnTheInside - Jean's [[http://jeaniebottle.com/?p=176 apartment]].
* ButtMonkey - Neil.
* TheCameo - [[Webcomic/ElGoonishShive Grace]] shows up in one strip.
* DistractedByTheSexy / RagingStiffie - Neil cannot control himself when Jean presses herself against him or if she is wearing revealing outfits / bikinis.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption - As with all comics of this type, Jean will likely never be changed back no matter what she does. Made blatantly obvious by the fact that her powers are best summed up as 'can do almost anything except turn herself into something other than a genie'.
** Well, it only makes sense that the one thing she can't wish away is the very power that allows her to grant wishes in the first place.
* FridgeLogic: Why didn't Neil use his last wish to wish for Jean's freedom? It probably wouldn't have changed her/him back to a man, but at least Jean would be free and not deal with guano.

* GenderBender - Jean, of course. Also Neil sometimes, but unlike Jean, he's not locked that way forever.
* GenieInABottle
* HypocriticalHumor: Jean, an (implied) male chauvinist turned into the genie of his own fantasies gets upset when Neal acts like... a male chauvinist with a genie fantasy.
* {{Jerkass}} - Lord Guano and Jean are both not very nice to each other, or to Neil. The former [[http://jeaniebottle.com/review.php?comicID=46 mistakes Neil for Jean]] and [[http://jeaniebottle.com/review.php?comicID=49 unjustly punishes him in her stead]], while the latter [[NeverMyFault blames Neil for everything that goes wrong]] and is [[http://jeaniebottle.com/review.php?comicID=53 more concerned about what will happen to herself if Lord Guano finds out he made a mistake]] than restoring her supposed best friend to normal.
** Neil has [[http://jeaniebottle.com/review.php?comicID=57 called Jean out on it though]], and literally ''ordered'' her with a list of demands to try and set things right. Whether she actually does or not is another matter though, but this is the first time since the comic began that Neil has really stood up to Jean.
** Neil himself is no saint either however. The second time Jean transforms him was because he made a tasteless "period" joke. You don't say things like to a woman, especially one that was a man. He has also said some other pretty ignorant comments as well. Really, sometimes Neil asks for it.
** There's also a good deal of HypocriticalHumor inherent in Jeanie's Irony Blindness, since all Neil is doing is living out Jean's own Genie Master fantasies.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold - Jean, though given his situation it's understandable that he's not taking it well. Jean isn't really a bad person and he does try to do nice things, like when he/she brought breakfast to Neil once and helped Neil turn into a man again.
