The logo on the front cover's upper left corner of the first three issues is for Cocoanut Comix, an imprint related to the Air Pirates collective, whose membership included Ted Richards. The first three issues of Dopin' Dan, though distributed by Last Gasp, were actually Air Pirates collective publications, as were Dan O'Neill's Comics and Stories, Merton of the Movement, Left Field Funnies, and The Dirty Duck Book.
