Sometimes, they get rewarded for their actions and sometimes they do not. 
== History ==
=== Oldest Version ===
The earliest design was created somewhere in April of 2020 and called The Adventures of Billy (Who was later going to be called Levi) and Clyde (Who was later going to be the character of the same name), which is now considered lost media. The story was going to be about two middle school step-brothers who hated each others guts but went on misadventure after they did something wrong. It was made after name calling at dinner time. 
=== Black Friday Movie ===
Black Friday Movie was an early design made in FlipaClip. The designs are similar to their current designs, however, the old design had Tommy wearing black fingerless gloves, Levi had an extra detail on his blindfold, and Clyde's hair tip was flipped the other way. Another thing were Corey and Levi's draw strings on their hoodies. The crew didn't have their checkered shoes. Corey wasn't wearing any! Throughout the year, EvilComix dreamed of Black Friday being a hit animated web series. 
== Late 2020 ==
During August and December of 2020, EvilComix (Who was under the alias Black Leader and later ComicKidStar in November) continued to draw the characters for Black Friday. In August, EvilComix first created the Raincoat Boyz. Originally, they were supposed to be hip hop rappers, but after learning about My Chemical Romance in October, EvilComix made them punk rockstars. EvilComix was still trying to make animations and was slowly starting to get on a hiatus. In December of 2020, EvilComix gave up Black Friday Movie to work on another project called Greed and Evil, a series EvilComix had been working on since 5th grade.
== Return of Black Friday 2021 ==
Black Friday soon came back to EvilComix’s interest somewhere in April of 2021. He had began to draw the characters more and prepared them for their final draft, in a project called Black Friday Comics. EvilComix had shifted his focus on art rather than animation. He did not feel confident going back online and had waited a couple months before settling on Newgrounds, where he would post his first comic, What Do You Do on the Last Day of August?

* Elective Mute; Levi is selectively mute. His voice was too beautiful, that his classmates bullied him.

** In the Raincoat Boyz debut comic, Kevin sits on top of Richard in an awkwardly more than friendly position.

** Richard also held on to Kevin in the title poster for the New Guyz in Town. 
** Richard admitted that Kevin had a better ass than Stephanie's in Grand Tour.
** The Black Friday Crew also had their fair share of homoerotic subtext. Whenever they do a group hug, they do it a seemingly romantic way. It's only when Clyde calls them out on the homosexual act and says his catchphrase "Man, this is fucking gay." that the Black Friday Crew stop. This is quite ironic as he himself is bisexual.
