After School Special came in a cassette case with a simple, typewritten and photocopied fold-out insert. The front cover featured the band's logo above a photograph of a young Jeffrey Dahmer. The only interior artwork is a photograph, apparently from the 1950s, of a laughing boy with a blond crew-cut carrying a metal lunchbox.

The liner notes offer thanks for "inspiration and/or guidance" to Dr. Seuss, Willy Wonka, Little Richard (the Night Stalker), William S. Burroughs, Sonic Youth, Jeff Dahmer, and Scooby-Doo. It also includes the band's mailing address "to join the First Church of the Choklit Cow or obtain information on the 'magickal music band.'"

The second tracks of Sides A and B are the original versions of "Lunchbox" and "Cyclops", not the album versions that appear on Portrait of an American Family.
