Comments: That last picture. That is the best thing.

Translation:

Butterscotch: ???

[Sign reads “Station”]

Sky Flier: A homing pigeon.

“Piccione viaggiatore” literally translates to “traveling pigeon.” She has a little suitcase and everything!

@naamahdarling  Thanks for the explanation, it makes even more sense now!  Can I ask what “Doccia forzata” means?  Google Translate failed me on that one.

Is it at all possible that the strip continued? I’m Italian & I have no doubts about it saying “forced shower”. Considering it’s apparently under the name of the author of the strips, I imagine it’s a title - maybe the characters get caught up in the rain later on? Otherwise it’s absolutely nonsensical.

Hmm, I don’t think it’s continued, I think these ones were like newspaper comic strips where they would just be a few panels based on a single pun or joke.  Maybe the title card was supposed to be for a different comic and they mixed it up, because they actually got the pony names wrong.  (Limone is Lemon Drop and I’m not sure who Filjberto is, but I think Skyflier is usually called Eva.)

Here’s another example of this kind of comic:

I’d love to get insight into the sign, since it seems to be based on an idiom?  (Polly is Snuzzle.)
