''[[The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius]]'' is a comic book by [[Judd Winick]], published over the course of three series between 1999 and 2002 (which, incidentally, makes it older than [[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron|another famous boy genius]]).
It follows the life of Barry Ween - the world's smartest human, a ten-year-old [[Gadgeteer Genius]] who hides his intellect from the rest of the world - and his friend Jeremy Ramirez, a hyperactive and sex-obsessed, but overall rather normal, boy of the same age who's the only one to know Barry's secret.
The series is known for its profanity-rich dialogues and has been described as "''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' [[X Meets Y|meets]] ''[[South Park]]''"; and it delights in subverting and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshading]] many common comic tropes.

* [[Adults Are Useless]]: The only thing Barry's parents do in the comic is fail to notice anything weird in their son (it's implied Barry mind-wipes them when they do, to be fair). Jeremy's parents hardly ever appear, though it's made clear his mom is overprotective and zealously religious.
* [[Author Avatar]]: Sara is very clearly based in whole or in part on Winick's wife Pam Ling.
