A LOOK AT COR!! STRIPS: JEANIE AND HER GENIE


Jeanie and her Genie began in a remote Oriental town where a sweat-shop genie-packer ran out of lamps for packing genies, so he put one in a torch. An English sailor buoght the torch in a souvenir shop and sent it to his niece Jeannie in England as her birthday present. The Genie could be summoned by turning the torch on. He granted Jeanie all sorts of wishes. Being very clumsy, the Genie often found himself in different awkward situations. The short series illustrated by an artist whom I can’t identify lasted from the first issue of COR!! until 31st October, 1970 (issue No. 22).

From COR!! dated 11th July, 1970 (No. 6)
