Only the girl is the one drawing the strip while she's sitting in a diner. Morten plays the comicbook's main character.

This was definitely one of the best videos ever made. Great animation, special effects and storyline. The only thing is Aha pretty much vanished off the face of the earth after thier one and only hit.

A-Ha also used this comic-strip type of video for "Train of Thought" & "The Sun Always Shines on TV' video clips.
Take-offs from this style were in their "Manhattan Skyline" video (with them being part of a newspaper/crossword), and a more recent clip "I Wish I Cared" where they feature as silouettes.
A-Ha are still going very strong, and have released two brilliant albums in the last couple of years, "Minor Earth, Major Sky" & "Lifelines". I just wish they were recognised as the excellent band that they are, and would love to see them tour Australia. ::)

Easiest way I found to get Minor Earth, Major Sky and Lifelines is off the internet (either at a retailer or on Ebay). I've never seen them in stores in the states... wouldn't be surprised if it's similar in Australia.

A good site in Australia for purchasing most of the A-ha CD's & DVD's is at CHAOSMUSIC. Their link is here:
