Gary wakes up, stretches, gets out of his coffin and goes to make himself some coffee. Taking his coffee into the lounge-room he encounters Leopold, who is just going to bed. Gary is a vampire, you see, and Leopold is some kind of goblin or something, so Gary is awake at night-time but Leopold is awake during the day.
But actually that's not normally how it works at all, they're both usually awake at the same time, and don't seem to stick to any regular hours, it's just implied that they sleep at different times in this strip for the purposes of this one specific joke.
So really what's happening here is that one day, purely by chance, Gary and Leopold's schedules overlapped in such a way that one of them woke up just as the other was going to bed. That's the joke.
