Line 69:
* In ''[[Girl Genius]]'', the circus performer Embi made a sacred vow to see the world before he died, [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050225 over 130 years ago]. He takes his sacred vow [[Serious Business|seriously]].
* In ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130603111028/http://ravenwolf.smackjeeves.com/comics/ Raven Wolf]'', the titular tribe was cursed with removal from the sacred circle of life until the domestic civilization is ended. This means that they stop aging at maturity and if killed, their bodies don't decompose and their spirits cannot be reincarnated until the curse ends; they also can't hunt or cultivate crops.
* ''[[Rice Boy]]'' has those chosen to seek to Fulfiller: They will not die until the Fulfiller is found (as long they keep looking). In this case, it takes around 3,000 years. Of the three seekers, one continues on the quest until it is completed, one gave up long ago and performed a [[Face Heel Turn]] (and has moved on to other life-extending means), and the last became disillusioned with the quest itself, and decided to let mortality catch up to him.
* In ''Tempts Fate'', a [[B-Side Comics]] to ''[[Goblins Life Through Their Eyes]]'', the title character destroys a Demon who will take a thousand years to reform, after which the demon will enact revenge. However, as goblins only have a lifespan of 30 years, the demon "curses" him with immortality so that he'll still be around in a thousand years for said revenge.
