I need some references, please. I am trying to start a '1 sketch a day' but never know who sets the theme and where to look for my next asignment. Is there any 'leader' or something? Thanks!

There is no leader as such. Last #DailySketchChallenge was done by @CountZero, I run the current one, and who knows who will run the next one and when? :)

So this time around, you're the "Rock Star"?

@aaribaud @hora_z

And today we're dealing with a rocky early stage.

Sorry, maybe I'm a little "stoned" this morning.

@Algot The puns... The puns they are glorious

Sometimes I do force them.
"May the force be with you!"

@Algot is there a hashtag for that? #Puns maybe? I'd subscribe to that.
But only good puns!
A good pun is one that does alter the word, like yours. If you have to misspell or mispronounce a word for a pun to work it's bad.

Sometimes that "rule" needs to be stretched. 😉

The other "rule" I prefer is the attempt to be subtle, not always using the #puns as sledgehammers to be too obvious.

That can be very difficult to implement when the puns are being slung back and forth.

@Algot yeah :D It's pretty hard in english I think, you see a lot more bad puns than smart ones. I think its easier in German, especially cause I think it's more metaphorical and you can derive a lot of double meaning from metaphors and figures of speech~

@Ayior

Another issue with #puns is NOT announcing them.

While I do appreciate being able to search for them, I don't always want to label mine.

As I've stated before, I'm impressed by the multi-lingual souls out there who can pun, not only in their own language, but in a second, third,...

Congratulations!

Mixing #puns into visual stuff is also one of my pleasant challenges.

Well...if somebody can be considered as the dailysketchchallenge's leader, i would point to @Ayior who created it.

@CountZero @aaribaud @hora_z I'm mot setting the themes this time though :D I'd just check the #dailysketchallenge feed for the latest theme when you need it :)
