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.

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.
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

Does the last bit mean “earlier that morning” or “morning, the next day” I wonder.
“Morning, the next day.”
