Phantastic Phil: “Phil My Prescription, Please”
If you stop by Gigliotti Chiropractic in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, you’ll see a Phantastic Phil that’s designed to look like – what else? – a pharmacist.
Phil My Prescription, Please was designed by Whitney Griffith and resembles a druggist because it was originally sponsored by the Stewart’s Drug Store that occupied the space where Gigliotti Chiropractic now resides.
This Phil, 22nd in the series, wears glasses – presumably because all pharmacists are nerds. He also sports a smock, button-down shirt, and a tie.
Painted on the statue are an image of the inside of a pharmacy, as well as items a pharmacist might use or sell, like flasks, pill bottles, and ointments.
You can, for the time being, visit this Phil at 217 West Mahoning Street, although, given that its original sponsor no longer exists and its paint is fading, it seems like a strong candidate to get refurbished.
