Maurice Rosy
Maurice Rosy (17 November 1927 - 23 February 2013), is a Belgian comics writer who also worked as artistic director of Spirou magazine during its golden period.
Biography
Rosy was born in Fontaine-l'Évêque. He was employed by Charles Dupuis in 1954 as "giver of ideas" at the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Spirou. Two years later he assumed the position of artistic director, which he remained until 1971. Along with Yvan Delporte, he is credited with responsibility of the magazine's success during the 1950s and 1960s.
In the early 1950s he wrote scenarios for André Franquin's series Spirou et Fantasio, and Jijé's Jerry Spring, before he took over the writing of Tif et Tondu from Luc Bermar, collaborating with Will over a period of thirteen years. As Spirou took to publishing the mini–récit (mini story booklets) Rosy had a hand in the creation of new series that began in this format, and in 1959 Rosy worked with Jean Roba to create the series Boule et Bill. In 1961 he collaborated with Paul Deliège to create Bobo. After working on Bobo for several years, even as artist on occasions, he created the series Attila in 1967, illustrated by Derib.

Close To This
by: Mercy KissI wanna touch,
I wanna kiss,
I wanna feel so close to this.
Is there anyway that someone could feel the same
If I promised them everything?
And could it be so seemingly impossible,
that I could be held responsible,
for a lack of confidence, that keeps me questioning?
The touch of skin that's not your own,
seems out of reach when you're alone.
This empty bed I lay in, it doesn't help me sleep,
dark thoughts are creepin' in again,
I'll medicate to silence them,
but I'm reminded that it only goes so deep.
Could this be just what I need to feel alive again?
And free like I have a breath inside,
It's been forever since I've let someone,
mean this much to me,
to me
Could it be so seemingly impossible
that I could be held responsible
for a lack of confidence, that keeps me questioning?
Cause I refuse to sucumb
to feeling so numb
I am not satisfied with what this has become.
There must be something here worth fighting for.
Could this be just what I need to feel alive again?
And free like I have a breath inside?
its been forever since I've let someone
mean this much to me,
to me.
I wanna touch
I wanna kiss
I wanna touch
I wanna kiss
I wanna touch
I wanna kiss
I wanna touch
I wanna kiss
I wanna touch
I wanna kiss
Could this be just what I need to feel alive again?
And free like I have a breath inside,
Its been forever since I've let someone
mean this much to me,
