Wil Shipley appears in Penny Arcade

Wil Shipley, he of the Delicious Generation's namesake, appears in yesterday's Penny Arcade comic, as a guy hopefully waiting in the iPhone line. (Little does he know that they'll have plenty there even after he makes his way to the front.)

The appearance came out of last year's Child's Play auction, in which Shipley donated a nice amount of money to charity for the privilege of appearing in a PA strip. On his blog, he says that he originally planned to have his iPhone held for him (along with PA Gabe's), but that turned out to be a no go with Apple, so they did actually stand in line together. And PA isn't the only place he's been seen standing in line-- Wil also got featured in the Seattle Times as an iPhone linewaiter. And finally, for those of you who appreciate a little blue (as in NSFW) humor, the guys from PA even did a special version of the strip just for Wil-- maybe all of this iPhone line fame is starting to go to the guy's head.

I don't think the line in the NSFW version is his, it looks much more like it's PA's line - they even say something to that respect in the text.
So I don't think that "fame" went to his head...

Yeah, Andy, that thought occurred to me, but originally I didn't think it was too big a loss, since the punchline itself wasn't really part of the rest of the strip. Your comment has made me reconsider, however, so I changed the picture. Sorry about that.

You gave away the punch line! What the hell!??

Yes, but if it were really Will, the character would have gone on for 3,000 more words. ;-)


(Is that a nipple on his elbow?)
