		+	:::: I'm not sure I agree with the argument that this is too generic. They definitely seem to like mining this type of transition for humor. Not all in the same way, but:
		+	::::* [[suntan]] has a range of "6 to 8 hours" instead of an expected specific time like "8 hours", and Strong Bad also repeats this range when asked how long he's been tanning.
		+	::::* The [[more armies]] example is poorly written as it doesn't even give both of the "x later" transitions that happen. It could be expanded to mention The Cheat saying the fair is in three weeks, followed by "2 weeks later", an irrelevant scene, and then "1 week later" with a transition to the fair.
		+	::::* [[Compy Catalog]]… I'm thinking it's a reference to "2 to 4 business weeks", as in the amount of time it'd take for the Compé to deliver.
		+	::::* As of more recently there's also [[too cool]], where "8 or 7 years later" uses the [[Larger or Smaller Number]] gag.
		+	::::* [[credit card]] and [[your edge]] are more generic and them alone probably wouldn't make a good page, even disregarding the three-appearance minimum, but there are already four unusual examples above. The most I can think of for these two is that the former mentions a very short time for Homestar to receive, check, and read the email, and then get his credit card and respond, while the latter has the caption in a crossstitch aesthetic, which relates to the following scene about Strong Bad and The Cheat pretending they're grandmas.
		+	::::There's [[Talk:Teen Girl Squad#Meanwhile, at the talk page\|a discussion]] on [[Talk:Teen Girl Squad]] about possibly merging these examples into a page also documenting the Teen Girl Squad "transition card on a human" running gag, which I could see happening, but TBC do seem to generally enjoy making jokes based on scene transitions. {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 16:09, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
