Dexter's Laboratory #15

Even the boy genius has his limits — and on Bill Wray's cover for this November 2000 DC/Cartoon Network issue, a wide-eyed Dexter finds himself firmly lodged between the jaws of a massive, stripe-patterned fish, exclaiming "This cannot be!" with perfectly calibrated scientific indignation. The image is pure comedic gold, pairing Dexter's signature goggled expression of disbelief against teeth that could swallow a whole laboratory. With "Totally Tanked" as the story inside, this issue promises the kind of gloriously absurd science-gone-wrong fun that made the series such a treat.
