French Cartoonist Georges Wolinski (1934 –2015) wrote daily post-it notes to his wife Maryse Wolinski (1943, Algiers). Two month after the death of Georges Wolinski, the apartment is full of souvenirs and notes, attesting a half-century-long love affair: "Darling, I think of you, I'm worried about you. I love you. Georges."
