On September 18, 1993 it moved from national syndication to CBS Saturday morning children's lineup. At the peak of its popularity, it was seen in nearly 90 countries around the world. He created his comic strip ''You Can with Beakman & Jax'' in 1991 for his local newspaper in Marin County, California—inspired by a stint answering kids' letters for Lucasfilm. It was the first ever syndicated newspaper comic drawn and distributed by computer, a Macintosh SE using Adobe Illustrator-88. The comic strip does not answer readers' questions directly. Rather, it gives directions to do create an experiment to learn the answer.〔 *(Jok Church: Profile )〕 His weekly newspaper feature is posted to his Twitter mini-blog (@xJok) page in the week after newspapers have published it. == Early life and career == Jok Church was born in Akron, Ohio〔(TED talk Jok Church: A circle of caring )〕 raised in Akron and Munroe Falls, Ohio and attended high school in Stow, Ohio.
