Phil is one of the original 19 students in Ms. Frizzle's class, from The Magic School Bus book series by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. He was cut from the universe of The Magic School Bus and The Magic School Bus Rides Again, as he was merged with Arnold.

Trivia[]
- He, Phoebe and Arnold are based off of or named after people whom Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen knew. Phil was based on Phillip A. Cole, the late Joanna Cole's widower. Arnold happens to be based on a friend of Bruce Degen’s son. Phoebe is named after the editor of the book series, Phoebe Yeh (dedication for Inside a Hurricane).
- Arnold’s TV counterpart pays some homage to Phil. His hair was changed to ginger like Phil's, and since The Magic School Bus Rides Again, he wears a green sweater over-top his polo and cuts his hair short to resemble him.
