For the "April Fools" strip Randall did a strip based on the Umwelt idea, that within the same environment, different individuals view different realities (read the mouse-over). The comic you see depends on your location, browser, window size, and ISP. there are quite a few possible comics.

I thought he had just missed with this comic. However, if you change the size of your browser window, the frames of the comic change. I'm guessing there are lots of factors that go into the comic.
