Comics are often defined as 'books for lazy readers'. Obviously, Cosey does not agree: 'I think that reading a comic is a very active kind of reading. Reading a comic is doing a lot of synthesis work.'

'First, there is visual information, the images itself, and second, there is a more verbal information, even if this also comes to us via the eyes. Many people are just unable to do this synthesis, because they have not started young enough at an age when they still have a certain flexibility of the brain. Which proofs there is a particularity.'

'Moreover, there is also another kind of synthesis. Because, what is a comic? It is a succession of pictures, like slides. You have to make a synthesis between each picture, try to connect them all in order to get a continuous motion.'

'Of course, this all happens in a spontaneous, unconscious way but still it is a lot of work. For me, as a child, it was really magic!'

Although comics have a magic appeal to Cosey, there is one thing he misses: 'Comics need music. That is my only frustration. I do not regret at all the absence of motion [...] But to put music into an album, yes. The relation music-image fascinates me.'

The fourth story in 'Une maison de Frank L. Wright' is Cosey's dreamlike ode to comics.
