Mmm, eggs benny. My favorite breakfast too. I use a smoked gouda for the cheese, and dice up a shallot for the sauce.
But to tell the truth, you can do great with whatever you have around the house. Fruit? What, you’re not worried about thinning out your life giving serum cholesterol?
Oh, and yes: Melvin really is going to become the Blue Wiz now, isn’t he? Kazom doesn’t look too happy about that.
Not sure of his feelings there, but he sure seemed pleased about what Susan said about the Eggs Benedict.
Cool! You guys are keeping the Melvin-magical-aura-that-only-Kazom-can-see as seem in this comic, https://melvin.jeaniebottle.com/?comic=here-for-you! It’s so nice that you guys keep going with the things I came up with. I’m not making the comic anymore, but my touches live on! ^_^
Hmm, if Melvin does have actual potential to use magic, then it would explain why Kazom hangs around with him beyond “just for kicks”.
There were a lot of things I came up with for why Melvin doesn’t have a dad. Maybe he’s dead. Maybe he’s he’s alive somewhere. Maybe he’s captive in Hollywood, forced to write horrible scripts for movies that look awesome in the trailers, but suck in the theaters. Well, maybe not that last one. One thing is sure, Kazom has a reason or reasons for hanging around Melvin so long. I shared most of my reasons with Bach-Mann, but I have no idea which one(s) he will use, if any. At least he kept the foreshadowing glow that I had him include in the comic I referenced. 🙂
Another possibility is that Kazom was all man not too long ago and he married Susan and Melvin is his child. Then he messed with bird crap and got turned into a cat. Which would make Melvin have Genie. That would open up a whole set of possibilities too.
The only problem with that is the canon on Kazom says he’s 3000 years old.
Bach-Mann and I toyed with the idea that Kazom was originally a cat who found and unintentionally opened a genie bottle, thereby gaining sentience. Which is why he is most comfortable as a cat as that was his original form. I have no idea if that will be the origin story, however. It was made when the comic was more lighthearted and in the spirit of I Dream Of A Jeanie Bottle, but now that things have taken a darker turn I imagine his origin story will be equally dark.
Why aren’t you making the comic anymore? And who have stepped in for you? Just curious.
You know, I’m not altogether sure of the answer to that question. All I can say is Bach-Mann didn’t want me involved anymore and is now sharing the writing duties with his girlfriend, Shadow. She is the reason there is a Shadow Observatory in this comic, https://melvin.jeaniebottle.com/?comic=is-this-the-real-life.
I would have loved to continue working on it, but it was not meant to be, apparently. 😉
Ohhh, is that way the writing suddenly got really hard to follow after that page? I was wondering what was up with that…
The last comic I had any input on was this one, https://melvin.jeaniebottle.com/?comic=huh. After that it was all them, for better or worse.
What a coincidence, I was just wondering if spell books were a thing in this universe.
The plot thickens!
I wonder how common magic users are?
Well, witches do exist in this universe. CD Rudd has witches on I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle.
There was a whole story arch with Jeannie vs Samatha.
That could perchance be a War Mallet strategy book 🙂
Magic, gaming, strategy–nah, this is Melvin’s Dad’s cooking journal, his kitchen notebook. Not just recipes, but notes on ingredients, seasoning, technique, inspired successes and humiliating fai–er, learning experiences.
In suggesting culinary camp, she’s going from Eggs Benedict to Eggs Benedict Arnold.
“Your dad was good in the kitchen . . .” Uh, who made the breakfast? Is Kazom possibly Melvin’s dad?!
A genie lord ousted for fraternizing with a mortal perhaps?
That a possibility, that what I am thinking. Kazom Melvin dad.
Anyone else notice the intials T.C. on the book?
Yes, but it almost seems like the word bubble is covering another letter.
Is it my imagination, or does Melvin’s mom look suspiciously like Red? More so than her actual parents…
I think it’s just her hairstyle being similar. Her face is quite different.
QUEST ITEM!!
That actually came out of my mouth rather loudly when I saw that last panel. So evocative.
Is it wrong to assume that the book is going to be very plot-centric because of the way Kazom is looking at it or is it just a DnD book?
It’s the necronomicon!
Sorry, I just automatically think that whenever I see an big, old, foreboding book. lol
Rereading again, and I have to ask, did anyone else notice the fact that Kazom stole the fruit for this breakfast from the neighbor’s tree?
