Dexter's Laboratory #3

It's hard for Dexter, boy genius, to get anything done when his silly sister Dee Dee is constantly distracting him from his pursuit of Science. So Dexter creates a potion that's guaranteed to free him from dull, everyday things like eating, sleeping, cleaning his room, and arguing with Dee Dee.

At first, everything goes great. Dexter is smarter than ever, and even Dee Dee's most pesky pranks don't bother him. But there's just one problem - the new, smarter Dexter has no idea that he's accidentally created a new, denser Dexter who keeps destroying his own precious laboratory.
