I see. The second panel made it look to me like the dad meant crying is good luck, so I was confused why his crying in the last panel looked so much like he was shitting on the bed.
… then I noticed the alignment. The shit would hit the dad’s forehead.
I mean, thanks to AI, we’ll look back at these kinds of comics and reminisce about how artisanal they are, and how they don’t make them like this anymore.
Came to comments to try and figure out why the pup is shitting the bed. All I got was confirmation he’s doing so. Still confused.
Does he think shitting on his dad’s forehead will bring luck because the bird shit on his own forehead brought luck or something?
Yes! That is the joke.
If you’ve ever been pooped on by a bird (and there’s a fair chance you have), you probably weren’t very happy about it. Ironically, this minor misfortune is actually seen as good luck by many people

It just looks like the kid is poorly pasted in. I still can’t figure out if the weird outline is intentional or not
Yes, it’s intentional. It represents the difficulty in keeping one’s balance. For reference, check squat toilets:

Right, the lines just look so chewed up they look like jagged pixels from a bad Photoshop job

Good times… Good times…
The first panel is unclear - a bird shat on his head and dad said it’s good luck.
So now he’s trying to shit on his dad so he will get the promotion.
For good luck, of course! 💩
Edit to add: yes, he probably does
