We are also releasing the Chapter 12 Omake along with this one for some reason.

Goat&CatScans: Retired Heroes Chapter 12

Still going at a breakneck pace. Hope your own necks are okay.
Y'all mind if I attain Instrumentality?

Goat&CatScans: Retired Heroes Chapter 11 + omake

We're going full steam ahead on this despite the backlash. The entrance into scanlation brings really exciting and worrying days! 
Here's our new credits page after the name change:
As you can see we put a commensurate effort into it. Here's the obligatory preview.
There's no weird meme edit. Why would there be, when there wasn't last time?
You'll probably notice a sharp uptick in quality, as we're using the standard font now and I'm actually doing proofreading and rewording passes.

Oh, we also did the omake after Chapter 11. Man, whenever I see the term "omake" I think of Makefiles. It's the O-Make!

Now to see how long we go before some schmuck rips it to imgur and posts it on reddit again. I give it 24 hours tops.

The cat's out of the bag

It seems our recent debut onto the scanlation scene has stirred up a little bit of controversy, the proverbial hornet's nest, or wasp nest if you will. I kind of expected something like this to happen when we uploaded our first chapter to mangadex, which is why I was a bit apprehensive about doing so. But what's done is done, and frankly I'm surprised this blog hasn't absolutely blown up with comments yet.

Most of the complaints have to do with things I already lined out in my first blog post like font choice and slanting text, which everyone would have seen if they didn't just read the mangadex upload. We are actually taking a few of these concerns into consideration.

The one big issue is there's already a scanlation group by the name of Cat Scans


Yeah, we didn't do any basic research either. This was an honest mistake, we weren't trying to steal their name or anything.
Therefore as of today, we're changing our group's name to Goat&Cat Scans. It's a pain but it has to be done. 
Man, we're gonna need to get a new credits page and everything. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to commission MS Paint drawings?

Also, Chapter 10 is on mangadex now if you're into that sort of thing.

Goat&CatScans: Retired Heroes Chapter 10

It's frankly something of a miracle that I didn't make a random troll post before we finished the next chapter, but here we are. I think we're usually supposed to post a sample image of the scanlation here to give people a sneak preview, so here ya go:
Yeah yeah, I know that's just our credits page, that fooled exactly nobody. Let's just pretend that didn't happen and try this again:
Yes, those sound effects were already there, especially the one in color, why do you ask?

Let me be your ruler

I've been splatting a seemingly endless horde of flies flocking to my screen. Again. Looking back it seems like this isn't the first time this has happened. That was more than a year ago, and I'm no longer as pissed off by it now. 

What's changed? My perspective, most likely. A few weeks earlier my home was plagued by a wasp infestation, which was far nastier. Yellow jackets have a loud buzz that makes them difficult to ignore, and can sting multiple times without dying like their friendlier bee brethren. 
That reminds me: I went to the dentist's office some time ago and was sitting underneath the wall-mounted TV in the waiting room. They usually play kid's movies since it's a dentistry for kids, which I still go to for some reason. Anyway, above me, I heard the DreamWorks Pictures jingle play. A tingle ran down my spine and I got all excited. Were they about to play that masterpiece of animated films, that green slime-filled sensation? Were they about to play....SHREK?!

"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly..."

I instantly slumped down in my seat, all hope lost.
Yeah. It was Bee Movie.

I don't think I need to tell you what to think about Bee Movie. In fact, I'm not even going to dignify it with a pic-

Anyway, I got stung once on the toe and recovered in less than 2 days thanks to constant rinsing and proper care. Others were not so fortunate. While more hostile and durable than flies, wasps were much easier to hit, whether it be with newspaper, flyswatter, or nerf blaster. This infestation did prompt the purchase of a new, industrial strength "heavy duty" bug swatter made of vulcanized rubber and thick steel wire. The advertising blurb said it could be used as a backup paddle should you find yourself on a canoe in a raging river. I don't know about that, but its pretty durable. I'm not going to shill it further here but the brand name is "Enoz" if you're really interested.

Now that the cold snap has arrived, the wasps are likely gone for good. Now if only these flies shared the same vulnerability...
