Lilium

The plants of the genus Lilium are the true lily plants, comprising a genus of about 100 species in the lily family, Liliaceae. They are vital as showy and large flowered garden plants, and in literature. Lilies are inhabitant to the northern temperate regions. Their range in the Old World extends across much of Europe, the north Mediterranean, across most of Asia to Japan, south to the Nilgiri Mountains in India, and south to the Philippines. In the New World they expand from southern Canada through much of the United States. A few species formerly included within this genus have now been placed in other genera.

These include Cardio crinum and Nomocharis. They are commonly modified to either woodland habitats, often montane, or sometimes to grassland habitats. A few can survive in marshland and a single one is known to live as an epiphyte. In general they prefer moderately acidic or lime-free soils.

Humour

Humour also spelled humor is the capability or quality of people, objects, or situation to evoke feelings of amusement in other people. The terms encompass a form of entertainment or human communication which evokes such feelings, or which makes people laugh or feel happy. The origin of the term derives from the humoural medicine of the ancient Greeks, which stated that a mix of fluids known as humours prohibited human health and emotion.

A sense of humour is the ability to knowledge humour, a quality which all people share, although the extent to which an individual will personally find impressive humorous depends on a host of absolute and relative variables, including, but not limited to geographical location, culture, maturity, level of education and context. For example, young children of any background particularly favour slapstick, while satire tends to appeal to more mature audiences.

Comics

Comics is a form of visual art consisting of images which are commonly combined with text, often in the form of speech balloons or image captions. Originally used to illustrate caricatures and to entertain through the use of amusing and trivial stories, it has by now evolved into a literary medium with many subgenres.

The most common forms of printed comics are comic strips in newspapers and magazines, and longer comic stories in comic books, graphic novels and comic albums. In the first two forms the comics are secondary material usually confined to the entertainment sections, while the latter consist either entirely or primarily of comics.

Depending on the definition of the term, the origin of comics can be traced back to 15th century Europe or even as far as to Egyptian hieroglyphs.However, today's form of comics,as well as the term comics itself, originated in the late 19th century.
