This article is about PHIL FACE. You may be looking for Phil.

PHIL FACE (also referred to as the Rynda Mandala[1]), is a running gag facial expression often used in Adventure Time. It is meant to resemble the face of Adventure Time lead character designer Phil Rynda. Pen Ward has stated that if you tell Phil about "anything" he will get a super excited face that this is based off of. Along with the Snail, it is an Easter egg. It is occasionally drawn into the show as an inside joke.[2] Pen Ward stated on his Spring that there is a Phil Face Princess;[3] however, no such character ever appeared onscreen.
