''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.
