You Can with Beakman and Jax, also known in its Spanish-language version as El Mundo de Beakman ("The World of Beakman"),[4][5] is an American science and education syndicated comic strip by Jok Church, which ran from July 14, 1991[1] to July 17, 2016. The comic strip, and associated television series, featured facts about science and languages.[6]
The comic strip is a text-based comic, that answers readers' questions, with illustrations of the main characters, various objects, and, or the experiments being discussed. It is run as a single panel comic that appears in newspapers as a color, or black and white Sunday feature, in either a quarter-page strip, or half-tab format.[7] The comic has reached a readership of fifty-two million readers in thirteen countries.[8] About 80% of the letters it receives are from females.[8] From its comic origins, its lead character Beakman would later star in his own live action television series, Beakman's World.[9] The comic also branched out into other media, gaining numerous awards along the way. Its author died of a heart attack on April 29, 2016,[10] after which the comic continued for nearly three months. Jok's final remaining comic was published on July 17, 2016, just three days after the strip's 25th anniversary of publication.[3]
