That's already been done, in a guest strip; also here; there's also been pregnant Dora. Do keep up.
shatterednoises:
If we want to stay somewhat within the bonds of plausibility, a preggers Penelope storyline would end in heartbreak. Not only does Wil not want to succumb to the "mundane" and "grownup" world, he's also not ever had to actually supply for his own needs. At least Marten never mooched off others even when he made choices that were likely to pauperize him. So he's most certainly fail at fatherhood. The pressures of a family would prove too much for him and he'd probably bail.

Wil makes me want to choke myself on my toothbrush. Wil makes me want to strangle myself with my bath-towel. Wil makes me want to accidentally slip on a bathmat and brain myself on my own fucking toilet. as a MAN... as a fucking MAN... Wil makes me want to beat myself into insensibility with the nearest hard or blunt object handy. I love the witing of QC and the characters that have come into play. but I have to speak myself out... speak out against Wil... Wil makes me want to die as a man. not only the little deaths. but all of the big deaths as well. maybe Wil represents a small faction of us... but maybe he represents the faction of your loyal readers that we just don't want to give any weight to. I know that we've all been there. I know that as a reader we've all, (as men) been that man right there. but Wil destroys my soul. I guess that is all that I have to say. I am anti-Wil.

That wasn't canon. It was a guest strip and a day dream. OK, pintsize as the father is a stretch, I'll admit I was going gonzo in order to make Penny pregnant with Will's baby sound more palatable BUT I think a pregnant Penny is a good storyline. Heck, at the pace of life in QC, she'd be pregnant for a good 2 years.
danman:
Why exactly ? The previous poster is right i would say. Will has no job, no reasonable plans to get one - he is searching only because Penny (implicitly) ordered him to. He has some idea about writing poetry, but there are two problems - a) it is difficult to make a living doing anything like that, b) If he will not work, deal with problems of common people, whatever he will write will be unappealing to most of us, since he will be far from the important issues - art should serve a social function, trying to improve society.
As it was pointed out already, Penny is probably searching for somebody much more reliable and stable. It is still possible that Will will (:D) improve under her influence, and become a 'proper man' but otherwise, she will most likely get too fed up with his ineptness.
(Also this means that except for some very weird accident , she will be unlikely to get pregnant (therefore in QC-verse it just might happen))
Also , saying these things is not merely reflecting an idea within our society - not being able to take care of yourself is a biological putoff, just like being a cripple (not saying that people with disabilities are necessarily unworthy in this respect, just pointing out that that particular trait is obviously one of the negatives about any such afflicted person) since such person is unlikely to ensure a good future for the common offspring Imagine a caveman who sucked at hunting and lived from others' scraps instead - would any cavewoman be interested in getting involved with him?
If Will lived somehow on his own, this would be less problematic even if the source of his living was social security, but currently he seems to leech his family, and is likely to be a similar burden on Penny if they lived together.
