Just put sleeping aids in his coffee, chloroform is terrible for your throat and lungs.
I was sure this was going to end with a pun about how the burglar had cleaned them out.
Someone is going to have to explain it.
I can’t for the life of me figure it out :(
it makes a lot more sense when you realise the artist probably meant to say “Early Next Morning”
This is not a mistake. The janitor cleans at night, the morning marked the end of his shift.
Who says there’s anything to figure out? The joke, such as it is, could be on the reader, not in the comic itself. Subversion of expectations is often funny.
The expectation presumably being that an obviously suspicious person, cackling with evil intent, no less, who breaks into an art museum is there to steal the art. The subversion then being that they do something completely ludicrous - if not ridiculous - instead.
Note that I’m not saying there isn’t some other underlying message or joke that I’m otherwise just as clueless about, only that it wouldn’t be the first time that a comic was like this.
Ah. That explains the downvotes (I think?). People think I’m some kind of AI bot. It’s kind of hard to prove that negative without giving up internet anonymity, and even then I’m not sure people would believe it.
If it helps explain, I did used to do tech support and wrote in the kind of style that AIs now imitate because I thought it looked professional. I mean, that style came from somewhere, right? Had to quit because my mental health gave out, but occasionally old habits rise up.
Does the last bit mean “earlier that morning” or “morning, the next day” I wonder.

This is the kind of chaotic good villain I want to grow up to be
