A comic illustration shows a smiling man in a suit tiptoeing through a doorway while a woman in a polka-dot dress, holding a rolling pin, stands beside a candle and a wall clock. The printed caption reads "The early bird catches....", setting up the visual joke. The card is a typical humorous lithograph postcard.
