After I gave my keynote at PAX last year, tons of fellow gamers began repeating my "Don't be a dick!" motto. Several people suggested to me that we put it on a T-shirt.
I was unsure, but on the last day of PAX, I worked up all the courage I could muster, and asked Jerry and Mike if they'd be into doing it.
"What do you think about doing something like, "Wil says, 'Don't be a dick.'?"
"We're totally into that," Jerry said.
"Yeah, just talk to Robert and we'll do it." Mike said.
What I said was, "Awesome," but what I heard was, "Chopper, sic balls."
Wait. That's not right. Let me try again.
What I said was, "Awesome, " but in my in my head, I was running laps around the room like my dogs do when I come home from a long trip.
I talked to Robert, and over the next few months we put the whole thing together. Yesterday, they put the T-shirt into the Penny Arcade store:
This is a really exciting thing for me. Being drawn by Mike is a huge honor, and spreading the Don't be a dick meme is pretty awesome, too.
