You Can With Beakman and Jax
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You Can With Beakman and Jax was a syndicated comic strip by Jok Church. The strip was used as the basis for the children's television program Beakman's World.
The two characters were Beakman, a male figure with glasses and a pencil behind one ear, and Jax, a female figure with glasses and earrings in the shape of jacks (from the children's game). The strip's text was in a question-and-answer format, in which a reader would ask a question, addressed to either Beakman or Jax, and Church would provide the answer, usually by means of a simple experiment the children reading could do (often with parents' assistance or supervision). A paragraph after the results of the experiment, titled "So What:", would explain the answer.
