The buyer pays for the result not the process.
So what is the first word in the title of this thread again?

Andy Warhol was a lazy bum!
Edit - since this isn't actually testing...
Politcal cartoon = the message is more important then the art. So reusing previous work to make the point is fine. Him redrawing a face doesn't make the message stronger.
Are you
kidding me with this? The 32 soup cans were all individually painted, not photocopies or photoshopped, painted 20x16 they are NOT identical, each one was made to a specific purpose. if political cartoonists were doing that I'd have no problem but they aren't. Reusing previous work is not fine, redrawing the face
does make the message stronger, the artists gives the image the attention it deserves and communicates specifically rather than with a general caricature.
look at Sept 24 2010 and May 10 2012, Obama's face as the reader moves let to right gives the semblance of drawing closer, stating his position with increasing fervor and rising desperation
In the original, this was because he was trying to hold contradictory positions and play with words to make them seem the same, in the second, his last panel is nonsensical. In the first image, his audience is described ideologically, and in the second he is first speaking to one party and then the other and the inference in the final panel is that he made no sense to either party. They are different scenarios. If the artist hand't been lazy the second time around he could have better conveyed the message, perhaps by Showing both audiences hearing gobbledygook and expressing confusion.
A cartoon is more than just the words, there is visual expression involved as well. If you really get into it, the size and font you use to convey certain ideas is an entire field of art, we've only been talking about artistic laziness in terms of copying image, but really this is the equivalent of exactly
what you thought Warhol did. Photocopying the same image making a minor adjustment and calling it art. It's not art, it's uninentional self satire at best.
