Giving all of your content away for free and never trying to make a dime from it? Yes, that's stupid. Bad business sense.
Giving it away free to everyone in a limited but easily digestible format, but then making high quality reproductions of noteworthy content that people would eagerly pay good money to own? Not stupid at all.
I recall a certain person doing similar things with his Doors And Windows comic. Publishing most of his content for free, and then making really sweet high quality posters. You just didn't make enough of the posters, both in quantity and variety, nor try other avenues of revenue.
