G.T.O. (File Under) / for "Gee, Thanks Oprah!"

The following doodles are from circa 2003/2004.  Always had a feeling about this guy, and it was never good.  When he tired to make ICE raids TV programming, I was like, "Yeah, that tracks..."
So "for what it's worth" (and my God, I hate that phrase!  If it's not worth it, then don't say it...):

These were ideas for full scale paintings of the "doctor."  They are still just ideas; but I think the Flaming Dr. Phil is really kinda cool.  Now, as to what the green leaf signifies, I'm not sure.  But looking at it from twenty years on, I'm thinking:
Big Green Leaf...Fig Leaf...Adam and Eve...Original Sin...Tree of Knowledge...Expulsion from Eden...Serpent...Snakes...

Huh...this version even has what appears to be a Texas Beef Steer.
Yeah, that tracks.

    AUTHOR
    Christopher Reidy is from the Boston area.  He attended Boston University where he studied TV and film which eventually led him to Los Angeles.  There he did the Hollywood thing (which he wasn’t particularly good at) and eventually met his partner Joseph.  He was one of the co-founders of the short lived Off Hollywood Theatre Company which staged several of his original plays.  83 In the Shade is his first novel.  He also dabbles in screenplays, toys with short stories, and flirts with poetry.  Life brought him to bucolic Southwest Virginia where he now resides and is very active in community theatre. It may interest you to know Chris is officially an Irish citizen as well as an American. He also enjoys drawing and painting and looking after a passel of

    housecats and two turtles.

    BLOG NOTES:

    I had a ton of notes for these blogs but they seem to have disappeared.  Don't ask me.  The gist was this: I sometimes make mistakes with punctuation and spelling.  I try to fix them if I find them.  Sometimes the pictures I post switch around of their own accord.  Again, I try to correct this when I come upon it.  Finally:  I try to keep this site somewhat family friendly but I will be honest about things like sex.  Therefore, as the old adage goes: VIEWER/READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED AND ENCOURAGED. RECOMMENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES.
