Sorry to say Adam, still glitching up on my end. In the interest of understanding the possible cause, I am using Google Chrome, and I would like to kindly request other commenters sharing their results will also share the browser they are using to test this.
On the subject of the comic, love the freaky ambiguity of the “permanent beer goggles” panel, and the doc winding up his “medicinal” crowbar is hilarious.
I had the same issue with the pointer being stuck on one and the same comic and then I cycled my comp – went away on vac – FF and a whole lot of other programs did their updates and the browser cache issue went away.
The random is still not working on my end. It keeps sending me to the same comic, and I cleared my cache and cookies to make sure it was not a caching error. My desktop browsers that are exhibiting the problem are:
Google Chrome Version 67.0.3396.87 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Mozilla Firefox Quantum 60.0.2 (64-bit)
Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.112.17134.0
The random seems to be working in Microsoft Edge 42.17134.1.0.

Google Chrome 67.0.3396.87 for Android

Sorry Adam, but the Random button takes me to 2015 Aug 14 every time. HP laptop running an unknown version of Linux Mint (my son stuck it in here for me so I woudn’t have to use Windows).
It’s interesting that we should all get redirected to different comics, but each computer gets the same one over and over.

Also this is my first comment here. Keep up the good work Adam!
I had LASIK. Worst decision of my life. I went from having near-superhuman low-light vision (seriously, not making that up) to not being able to drive at night anymore. The dry-eye and halos got better, but my pupils simply won’t dilate in low light conditions anymore.
Also, you know what’s more annoying than wearing glasses? Carrying glasses. I have to have my readers with me wherever I go, because otherwise I can’t even read the buttons on the vending machine. The doctor overcorrected by A LOT.
RANDOM COMIC SOLUTION
use the URL “https://www.bugmartini.com/?random=X” where X is any random number
This is sure shot give random comic EVERY TIME (unless X is repeated)
Sorry Adam, but the random button sent me almost a year into the future!
Did you ever get it fixed? I’d try it again, but I’m afraid I’ll either end up in the past and accidentally kill my grandfather, or get sent into an apocalyptic future with no internet access..

I’d be more interested in a fix for the bug that leaves Firefox pointing to the old comic unless the cache is cleared by hand.
I use Firefox and don’t have this problem. My bookmark link is the homepage URL.
I use Firefox and I still have the problem,
I use Firefox (and I had the problem where the latest comic wasn’t shown) but it works for me now. The Random button however it still broken for me.
I had the same issue with the pointer being stuck on one and the same comic and then I cycled my comp – went away on vac – FF and a whole lot of other programs did their updates and the browser cache issue went away.
Rando Button still has the issue though
Firefox Quantum 60.0.2 (64-bit)
Hi Adam, the random button worked the first time I clicked on it, but the next few times I clicked on it the comic stayed the same. Sorry :/
Sorry, using firefox on Windows 10, “Random” does indeed work one time: To show me “marriage disposal” (https://www.bugmartini.com/comic/marriage-disposal/).
Chrome, clicking on random sends me every time to https://www.bugmartini.com/comic/cast-them-stones/
I got a different one on Chrome, but still just 1.
Yeepppp. Same here. Chrome, same comic every time with ‘random’ click, just a different one from other folks.
Sorry Adam. Your woes continue.
Same, only I get https://www.bugmartini.com/comic/gone-to-hail-in-a-handbasket/

Sorry Adam, I’m on Chrome (version 66) and I keep getting Zombie Week 4 every time (https://www.bugmartini.com/comic/zombie-week-4/).
Sorry Adam, I’m on Firefox (version 60) and I keep getting I’ve forgotten everything about boy scouts each time.
(https://www.bugmartini.com/comic/beyond-a-reasonable-scout/)
So do you get special chairs when your legs bend the other way?
Sorry Adam, the random comic button only sends me to The Public Opinion Strikes Back: https://www.bugmartini.com/comic/the-public-opinion-strikes-back/
I’m running Chrome (version 67, 64-bit) on an Asus laptop.
For the sake of complete knowledge, I checked the button in the Steam ingame web browser, and it seams to be broken there too. Good luck, Adam.
Medicinal crowbar got me. I haven’t laughed that hard in awhile.
Thanks.
I just get Vampire Blues

The Random button takes me to a picture of Adam dressed up in baby clothes. Is this normal?
Of course. You saw that just now? We’ve all known that for a while. 😉
