TEXT OF COMIC:

I did some more research on your great Spanish train pun, Abby, and I found out that "ave" is masculine. The adjective "llana" couldn't apply to it anyway, because it has a feminine ending.

Actually, there you're wrong. "Ave" is one of the few Spanish nouns, like "agua," that are feminine despite taking the masculine article. You do say "el ave" as if it were masculine, but adjectives applying to the word "ave" always take feminine endings.

How do you make such bad puns when you're so good at language?

Actually, it WAS a pretty bad pun. I could have made it so much better-- there's actually a Spanish train line called AVE.

Now THAT would be the best pun ever!
