    Went for a hour off line and came back to 4 pages of comps LOL, first few days is always the worst picking the good from the bad.

    I get the feeling ad agencies are changing tack, which is why comps generally are dwindling across the board.

    Perhaps they are not getting the kind exposure from giving stuff away as the might have done a few years ago.

    I've had a busy day, so not been having a go at Advents yet. Is it just MSE where it seems like there are less Advents comps? Had a quick look at the lists on other comp sites (I mainly Comp on MSE, but thought there looked less Advents listed than usual) and there's 300-600+ listed. When I get the time I'll add some of them here :)
