Today's image is my post for this week's Illustration Friday category, "Early". I ran through so many ideas with most of them involving roosters, and even a hot-dog eating contest, but this idea came to me last night. I started playing on the the "Earl" part of the word early and almost named one of these men as the Earl of Sandwich. I think the Earl Grey tea really set the mood, though, and the picture became more playful and whimsical.
