RonZakWolf Animations (shortened as RonZakWolf on the Sudomemo account, and abbreviated as RZWA,) is an animated web series created by multi-media artist, mostly musician, Rafe LaNore, (or RonZak). It can be found on Sudomemo, where the show is native to, and YouTube. Every episode is referred to as an animation.There is a loose plot to this series; Rafe, the caricature of the animator, lives with an eclectic cast of characters; from humans to animals, to even otherworldly creatures and cryptids. He has to deal with their shenanigans, of which he isn't immune to getting into.
RonZakWolf Animations contains examples of:
- Bizarrchitecture: Sometimes seen in Rafe's art, such as with the Building Illusion. Hey, a city in the sky designed with impossible architecture and that has out of wack gravity was bound to become canon.
- Cassette Futurism: There's this fascination with old technology in RonZakWolf Animations. From technical difficulties, call signs, a humanoid that has an analog television as a head; with the antennas that he covers with a tophat, cassettes, vinyl records, wax cylinder records, cassette players, record players, phonographs and gramophones, and projectors.
- Deadpan Snarker:
- Rafe is this. Shown in "Hypothetical Question", when Dean asks a hypothetical question that is easily exploited.
Dean: [questioning] For twenty-four hours, all crimes are legal. What crimes will you be committing?
Rafe: [deadpan] None, because they're now legal.
Dean: [annoyed] Listen here, you little shit.- Another example is in "Sip" when Dean asks Rafe for a sip of his water. Upon hearing that it's not water, he assumes that it's a cup of vodka. Rafe corrects him again, saying;
Rafe: [deadpan] It's vinegar.
Dean: [surprised] What?
Rafe: [deadpan] It's vinegar, pussy.- Another character like this is Charo. He's more of a Snark Knight type.
Vel: [asking] So, what's your job?
Charo: [deadpan] I sit or stand at this gate wait for sinners to arrive.
Vel: [unimpressed] That sounds boring.
Charo: [deadpan] That's because it is.
Charo: [deadpan] I sit or stand at this gate wait for sinners to arrive.
Vel: [unimpressed] That sounds boring.
Charo: [deadpan] That's because it is.
- Disco Dan: Staticslite. He loves scat music and is based on an analog television.
- Fantasy Americana: The show takes place in Michigan, and it has a lot of fantasy elements in it.
- Interspecies Romance:
- Rascal and Vel's parents, Marko and Kotleemma, are/were a wolf and a cat, respectively.
- Xavier's mother, Carmen (a dragon), was in a relationship with a wolf named Evan up until her death.
- Our Demons Are Different: Charo was born as a demon and is a bouncer (and occasional psychopomp) from hell.
- Our Dragons Are Different:
- Xavier is shown to be very kind and playful, and was raised by a dragon and wolves after his parents divorced.

- Vance, while shown to very intimidating, is a caring father, and a genuinely nice creature to be around.
- Take That!: Rafe has stated his dislike for Wendy's.
- Wham Line:
- Akzron in "At the Beach at Night". While Ray and Rascal were having a quiet conversation, Akzron interrupts them, shouting;
Akzron: [bellowing] I've been here, all night, trying to catch a fish, and nothing is working! - World of Chaos: You can stumble into a random void on accident. And not to mention the city in the sky.
- World of Weirdness: RZWA has humans, animals, fantasy creatures, extraterrestrials, mythic monsters, and eldritch and Lovecraftian horror living in the same world. Not only that, there exists a void that you can fall or walk into, fly around in random directions, then be randomly launched back outside of it. And there exists an impossible city in the sky, where the buildings are in a cluster, going in random directions, and gravity acts strangely. Nobody even seems to care.
- The Unpronouncable: Charo. Not even
Word of God can decide on an official pronunciation for him.
