Feel free to use that final panel anytime the Vikings do something inexplicably dumb on offense.
What are some other ways we could make football safer in the age of Coronavirus?
Why does the “random” button keep tking me to the same page. It’s been like this for at least a week. Although it seems to change which comic its “randomly” selecting every couple of hours. It’s currently sending me to number 203. I’m having a similar issue with another comic I read, Bug Martini.
I’ve had this reported to me a few times and I don’t know what is causing it, because I’ve never been able to reproduce it on my own.
Hey, so I put on my web-dev-when-necessary hat, and it looks like a caching issue. Without knowing exactly how your site is set up, it appears the “random” link (http://www.thedrawplay.com/?random&nocache=1) tries to tell the server to skip caching. However, the page is coming back with the Cache-Control header set to max_age=600, so the “random” page gets cached for 10 minutes. Then the browser just re-displays the same page every time until the cached copy expires.
If your computer is set up for publishing to the website, it’s possible that you’ve got something directly configured to ignore the cache. You might be able to re-produce the behavior by using a different computer (or phone/tablet/anything with a web browser).
I’ve actually tested it on my phone, every laptop currently in my house, and my work computer, and it’s never given me issue on any of them. I fully believe you, and I’ve even had my developer/tech support wife look into it, and we haven’t had any luck as of yet figuring it out
It doesn’t seem widespread, I get a message like once every 4 months by one person who is bothered by it
Okay I fiddled around with the cache settings a bit, we’ll see if that works
One solution to prevent caching could be to append a random number to the nocache parameter. Or the current time.
Still happening for me. The comic it kept taking me too featured Tom Brady shot in the head with KC arrows, so that was at least nice. =D
I disagree with everyone else, though. I think it’s a cashing issue. Wire me $5000 and I will make this problem go away.
Try linking the random to nocache=0 instead of nocache=1, that’s how I get it to work
It’s a caching issue. The ?random page sends an HTTP 302 with the URL to a random comic. However, the browser can cache that response, so when a user clicks “Random” again, the browser doesn’t get a fresh URL — it just uses the cached one and takes them to the same comic.
THANK YOU!
For a long time I thought it was a problem on my end because I didn’t see anyone else mentioning this, so I just shrugged and decided to not binge-read this wonderful comic(as hard as it is). After all the random choice seemed to change every few minutes(appears to be 10 as mentioned by that other guy).
Great to see it wasn’t just me, and that Dave and some other people who are more savvy about these things are looking into the issue. Hope it gets straightened out somehow.
PS. By the way… issue’s still persisting on this end. Maybe something else with the settings should be fiddled with…

Oh yeah, I’m suuuuuuuuure people will want to watch that.
Flag football with six foot flags
If a defender is within six feet of the ball carrier it counts as a tackle.
Everyone has to wear giant inflated bubbles like in bubble soccer.
But you just know that Brady would deflate his if it gave him an advantage.
And A. A. Ron would inflate his past spec, supposedly for the same reason.

This might make Cousins better…

The new “Coughing Protocol”, a beefed-up version of the concussion stuff. Every time a player coughs, they have to go into a special quarantine tent for 2 weeks.
Honestly, I don’t think it would make the Vikings play any worse.
I missed Kyle Rudolph running the wrong way on first glance. That’s awesome!
Replace the humans with elephants
Have the players play in old-timey diving suits. The really heavyones.
Meh, the Vikings appeared in a strip, I’ll consider that a win.
“Illegal Hands To The Face” now applies to yourself, and carries a mandatory 2-week q̶u̶a̶r̶a̶n̶t̶i̶n̶e suspension.
As well as assault charges. You did say illegal hands.
