Exactly! Why is it at the bottom of the main page where nobody can see it? Why is the selection so limited?
Single prints can be made and sent through services such as Fedex. The price would be higher, but without minimums the selection could be very wide.

The comics that do that have established reader-bases that are larger than Outsiders, again refer to the chicken and egg thing earlier.
You don't know
What It Takes. Outsider seems to have a much larger reader base.
Insufficient funds for a standing army of Ariochs? Hire mercenaries. I've seen some for $15/hr or less.

It doesn't have to be limited to parody. The Insider is full of topics which could be explained using such frankenstein comics, just put the text in Beryl's mouth (or sanzai bubbles) with little editing needed.
Most of the work is done.
Many pages use beautiful 3d models as sets, which means shots could be taken from different angles pretty quickly.
Characters that are already drawn in various poses are presumably kept as separate layers or images with transparency. They could be resized, mirrored and overlayed on other backdrops easily.
I'm sure making these things in the first place took hours, but recombining them would take minutes. We're potentially minutes away not from frequent Outsider updates, but at least Outsider-verse which would help keep readers around until the next main story update. That in turn means more donations, more votes, etc.
