Pages 1, 2, 3
The very first issue! Back when it was called 'Hic Validus Percunctor', a terrible Latin translation of 'The Able Question', this Newsletter was a three page affair which covered many many fascinating topics such as Kla's glasses, homosexual elves and Darkcore's share price. And even more!
After the culling of pages two and three and two thirds of the name, we still have an amazing piece of work! The four stories include industrial action by Comic makers and how Pepper's boils are viewable from space.
The most detailed and focused yet with the entire 600 x 800 page devoted to the malpractice of some of the citizens charged with looking after this great Nation. A fabulous scoop for the magazine which gave us glorious reviews such as 'nice'.
In this Issue we tackle the rising spectre of unemployment and how the once prosperous nation is rotting in the stew of it's own effluent. Not that we mind.
Following the roaring success of Issue 4, we look at the other side of unemployment: 'Employment'. Mostly at how the employment in the Newsletter industry is doing more harm than good, particularly rectally.
Here, Validus picks up the explosive scoop regarding a catastrophic leak at a Liquid Hormone Chemical Plant which is affecting many citizens across Bedtime City. The first class journalism also calls into question the business tactics of the CEO of Darkcore Corporation, Jonpatrick Smith.
A most shocking report, Validus uncovers the national scandal of underage drinkers in Bedtime City, with some figures showing that 95% of citizens are not old enough to drink! This story came to light when a 6 month old baby called 'Roflbear' was seen with a pint of absinthe.
Yet another fantastic issue of a revamped Validus, this time sorting out the facts from the badgers in the mayoral campaign. All in all, most of it was badgers.
This issue Validus finds out the shocking truth behind the recent public room server crash and introduces a new member to the roster of willing writers able to contribute!
A first for Validus! A serialisation of a film, liscensed by the great Owl Gore! We apologise for the amount of censoring in the final paragraph, it was deemed too hot for national press coverage and we were happy to hide such candid sauciness.
A shocking revelation in Validus that our competitors are committing a large scale fraud! Coolboi Murdoch and his cronies are foiled by the truth and sodomised by a gorilla.
Terrorism in Bedtime City! The frightening reality of mortality and the temporary nature of life and news are thrust into our faces in this fascinating limited edition, get yours whilst you can still grab things as tomorrow you may have no fingers!
Our competitors are at it again, cheating their way against our vast worldwide news supremacy! Validus sensationally tells you everything you already know in it's own delightful way!
VALIDUS tackles the behemoth that is Forum inactivity and probably doesn't win! Note the headline has virtually nothing to do with the article. Lol.
VALIDUS is a Newsletter like no other. Not only is it a compact and direct source of farce, mockery and lewdness, it also acts as a forum for ludicrous and serious debate, often at the same time. Never look further than VALIDUS!
Reader discretion is strongly advised. At no point is this first class publication meant to be taken lightly. If I say jump you jump, dammit! This publication also has no affiliation with Gionatan Iasio and the Warbears. Also any views mentioned in the newsletter are often paraphrased or just totally made up (just like real newspapers do) so take care when quoting Validus in court. If you wish to be in Validus just write your address on your telephone number and send it by fax to my PM box. I hereby ask for constructive criticism if you must criticise my work. Failure to do so will result in a sustained campaign of abuse, intrusion and taking photos of your saggy bits which will leave you and your families terrified to leave your homes. I also reserve the right to ignore everything anyone says because I am the Supreme Overlord and Intercontinental Genius Consulate of Newsletters.

Can I just ask: for Rowena's slot, do we send in our own questions, or are you making them up each time? _________________ Twitter |

Hmm dunno
Oh by the way Rowena moved this to comics because it's too factual.
All spelling mistakes are intentional
And why hasn't this been stickied!??!! |

I just made it all up (I know right, hard to tell), but obviously feel free to send stuff if you have a particularly pressing issue that would benefit from me solving it _________________
