PHIL FACE

PHIL FACE (not to be confused with Phil's face), 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. Along with the Snail, it is an easter egg. It is occasionally drawn into the show as an inside joke. As confirmed on Pen Ward's formspring, there will be a Phil Face Princess.

Appearance
The expression is composed of an open mouth curled up at the corners, wide eyes, and highly arched eyebrows. Stubble and glasses, though not mandatory, enhance the overall PHIL FACE experience.
