Translation for certain Western Pennsylvanians: rubber band = gum band. (On a documentary on regional American dialects the interviewer asked a Pittsburgher if he’d ever heard another word for those stretchy things that can hold a bunch of envelopes together, and the man replied “I think some people call them rubber bands.”)

Oh, they’ll hold things together, all right… just not the way you want them to.

Satch can be quite profound!

Being a pet psychologist is certainly more valid a career when your patients can talk.

Satchel speaks the truth.

Satchel, as might be expected, is using the Canadian meaning of “ironic” here.

Only The Spinners know why Buck’s a rubberband cat!

Satchel’s comment in the first panel says it all!

So rubber bands may be the only thing Satchel does not eat!

Many cats love to chew rubber bands, but don’t let them! Very dangerous for them and can lead to a costly surgery.

For me, gum bands are what I use to keep my bubble gums together.

Hey Rob, Instead of calling a pet psychologist how about you stop buying rubber bands.

It’s not the only thing that separates Bucky from the rest of us.

I always love when Satchel one-ups Bucky, like in the first panel here.
Too bad Bucky wasn’t close by to hear it, though …
