1	''Within a Mile of Home'' (found [[https://web.archive.org/web/20170929175921/http://www.withinamileofhome.com/comic/arc-0-page-1/ here]]) is a fantasy webcomic, in a setting obviously heavily inspired by TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}.

3	Life is good for the clever goblin rogue Jinjo and his dim-witted "cousin" Barley. At least, until mysterious monsters attack [[FloatingContinent The Town Before The Dawn]] that they live in, causing Jinjo to fall off. Fortunately, he is rescued by the elven alchemist Frim and her servant golem Ra'aj. They start traveling together, with Jinjo trying to pay off his life debt to Frim...

6	!!This webcomic provides examples of:
7
8	* AlienSky: The simple presence of a day/night cycle completely throws off Jinjo at first.
9	* EndlessDaytime: The apparent [[MeaningfulName source of the name]] of The Town Before The Dawn is that the sky is perpetually orange, as if the sun were just rising.
10	* FastballSpecial: Jinjo sets one up where he gets thrown by Ra'aj into a group of thugs.
11	* FishOutOfWater: Jinjo, although it doesn't take very long for him to move past this.
12	* FloatingContinent: The Town Before The Dawn, a large walled floating city.
13	* HomeSweetHome: Jingo's first reaction to learning what happened.
14	* IntrepidMerchant: Frim, traveling from town to town to sell her wares, as well as provide other services.
15	* IOweYouMyLife: Once he comes to terms with his situation, Jinjo agrees to work as Frim's assistant.
16	* LifeOrLimbDecision: A variation, since Jinjo was unconscious and could not make the choice himself: Frim decided to amputate Jinjo's crushed right arm in order to save his life.
17	* OneWingedAngel: The Lady reveals she can take on a much more menacing form (a masked female giant made of energy), which she assumes to try and fight off the monsters attacking The Town Before The Dawn.
18	* PunnyName: Most of the wildlife gets some. You have a butter ball (a small round yellow-feathered bird), a hedge-hog (a pig actually made of wood and shrubbery), and a burnt rarebit (a scary looking rabbit that is implied to breathe fire).
19	* TheWallAroundTheWorld: Jinjo at least thought there was nothing at all behind the Lady's Wall that enclosed The Town Before The Dawn. He gets a very rude awakening.
