Waves lazily lap the shore as Malachi, the half-evolved Shinx, has just returned from the local guild after yet another failed attempt to simply enter the building. Though disheartened, his friend Maelstrom, a rock with the ability to talk, tries to cheer him up.

Then, he finds someone washed ashore.

An awkward meeting leads to the beginning of a rocky friendship as Malachi nicknames his new Alolan Vulpix acquaintance "Rune". An amnesiac herself, she agrees to live with him while she recovers.

Our heroes soon decide to form an exploration team- a taskforce dedicated to helping local townsfolk with their problems. But what should have been simple errands quickly evolved into much larger and sinister cases: Kidnapping, unsettling dreams, a poisoned town, and all while their mentor figures seem to harbor some less-than-honest intentions...

Will Team Maelstrom be able to keep up?

On Borrowed Time, a webcomic running since 2014, is now available in physical form! Come join our heroes through 268 pages of a full-color comic, including 18 pages of extras and a 23 page Fan Art Feature!

This is a not-for-profit run, meaning that any and all revenue gained from these prints goes towards cost of production and shipping. The artist will not be receiving any revenue, and these books are for personal use only. Books are inspected for major flaws before shipping, though very rarely receive minor scuffs from mail handling or contain small print errors.

This listing is for pre-orders for the first wave of prints, which will be sent out 4-6 weeks after pre-orders close depending on production and shipping time. Pre-orders will close October 13th, with a second wave for books dependent on interest. Some overstock books will also be ordered for those who can't order during the pre-order period, but their availability is not guaranteed.

If you live outside of the countries listed, want to ship with a service other than USPS (or USPS international partners), or otherwise don't want to make your purchase through Gumroad, feel free to contact me directly for a private invoice.

"Where's my book?" - As mentioned above, books do not leave my care until 4-6 weeks after pre-orders close... because there aren't any books to ship yet! I place the print order for books after pre-orders close. Production time for books (the time it takes to print, cut, and bind them) is 2-3 weeks from the printing company, and 1-2 weeks to be shipped to my location for final packing. Books then take up to a week to be processed before being sent to their final destination. Tracking info is not provided until a book is ready to go in its packaging, after which a tracking number will be provided via email. I appreciate your patience!
