Old Age Humor
Lily’s cartoons may be tender-hearted and quirky, but their topics nevertheless always revolve around the funniest aspects of aging. The most successful one of them depicts Grandma Lily running around the house in search of her glasses only to find them on her own nose. This has a certain comedic appeal to people since this does unfortunately sum up one of the issues of growing older. Grandma Lily effectively uses such examples so that people would not get irritated by mentioning small peculiarities of elderly people saying that such moments are not a problem at all but a wonderful twist that can be hardly observed in young people.
The second common topic in the work of Grandma Lily is the funny situations connected with technology. In one cartoon she is depicted as a clumsy woman who has a hard time in handling her Smartphone, she sends a message to her daughter, but it reaches the whole group. This scenario gives the generation gap in technology use and brings out the humor in misunderstanding in this generation. The comedy lessons provided by Grandma Lily not only make people laugh but also introduce feelings of reassurance to people who are struggling to cope with continually accelerating rates of innovation.
