"Rockstar Cartoonist" follows the life of cartoonist, Michael Lyons and his struggles as an aspiring artist and musician. Beginning in 1967, when we witness the birth of Lyons as the reincarnation of Michelangelo, the reader follows his experiences (especially regarding: dating, drawing, and playing guitar) as he progresses throughout the decades. In the end, we discover Michael as a middle-aged man with ambivalent feelings about love, music and cartoons.
