Random "xkcd: what if?"
Description from store

Update (v1.0.1): Fixes a bug which caused the references to become unclickable. Thanks to Reddit user /u/Notagtipsy for pointing this out.

Update (v2.0.0): Improves efficiency: a random comic will only be requested if the button is clicked. This is similar to the xkcd random button. Also, I added an icon derived from the "What If?" logo!

Update (v2.0.1): Fixed bug that made the random button always point to the current comic under some conditions.
