You Can With Beakman and Jax is 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 are 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 current comic strip includes a wide variety of information, especially in the fields of science and technology and history. The strip's text is in a question-and-answer format, in which a reader asks a question, addressed to either Beakman or Jax, and Church provides the answer, usually by means of a simple experiment the children reading can do (often with parental assistance or supervision). A paragraph after the results of the experiment, titled "So What:", explains the answer.
