To be fair, that's not what he did at all.

He pasted three times, and then redrew for the last.

And, as much as I hate repeated panels, it is an unavoidable side-effect of a monthly schedule. See, if you don't copy and paste you have some serious drawing and redrawing to get an image that looks exactly like another image yet is not exactly exactly that other image. In the storytelling sense, any mistake there is deadly.

Stillness is actually, literally still. There are a lot of times when, if you are trying to faithfully create the way a thing would look in real life, it really is a pixel-for-pixel match. If you took two frames of a movie of that, it's quite possible that they really would match perfectly.

In a case like that, unless you are a genius artist who can remember and recreate every single line from a particular tiny panel that you're getting paid chicken scratch for, you must copy and paste. There's no option. You tweak it so you don't feel guilty but what else are you supposed to do?

When you combine that with the fact that this is a stunningly affecting sequence, I'm gonna give him a pass this time.
