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.

“Suspense is one of the most delightful feelings that you can have! It is the feeling you get, when you have sat down to dinner, and the cook sends word that “it won’t be ready for another hour.””
