The second stage consists of the actual delivery of the puppies. The third stage is passing of the placenta. The afterbirth might pass with each individual puppy, usually within 15 minutes of delivery. If the mother has a few puppies in rapid succession, those placentas may come out en masse.
Comedies have also been classified in various subgenres, such as romantic comedy, crime/caper comedy, sports comedy, teen or coming-of-age comedy, social-class comedy, military comedy, fish-out-of-water comedy, and gross-out comedy.
Greek Comedy would continue to be popular through Hellenistic and Roman times with many of the classic plays being re-performed again and again. Latin comedies were written most famously by Plautus & Terence, and the genre diversified into various other forms of comic theatre such as pantomime and togata.
