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”
No I still can’t see any plot to the whole.
Then you’re on the right track.
This is not a mistake. The janitor cleans at night, the morning marked the end of his shift.
Then it should’ve said later that morning
Or
Later, in the morning
in that case, it might make more sense to put “midnight” or something on the first panel.
You’re expecting the guy to pose as a janitor to steal art, but instead he just wanted to do the janitor’s job for him.
Does the last bit mean “earlier that morning” or “morning, the next day” I wonder.
“Morning, the next day.”
Early that morning (at the end of the janitor’s night shift).
Malicious plot to get someone promoted.
Same
This is the kind of chaotic good villain I want to grow up to be
Chaotic good
Reality is that the boss will just come to expect that level of work from his employee in perpetuity with no pay rise.
