Zoo~la~la is a Furry Webcomic found on the author's Deviant Art account. It is a slice of life comedy revolving around the antics and (mis)adventures of a cast of teenage anthros and humans. The main cast features two human characters, Bianca and Sparky, as well as a group of anthros composed of a tabby cat named J.T., a mink named Brooklyn, a mouse named Marcie, a Border Collie named Jackie, and Sparky's pet mutt, Angel.

Zoo~la~la contains examples of:

  • Alliterative Name: Fifi la Frou Frou.
  • Animals Not to Scale: Variant 1; The five anthros are all about the same size as the human cast, despite being a cat, two dogs, a mouse, and a mink.
  • Everyone Meets Everyone: Subverted in the Pilot; Angel is introduced to J.T. at the end of the story, and it is established that Jackie, Brooklyn, Marcie, and J.T. already knew each other.
  • Female Feline, Male Mutt: Inverted by three of the main five anthros. J.T. the Cat is the only boy in the group while the two dogs, Angel and Jackie, are both girls.
  • Fiery Redhead Angel and Sparky, just not so much angry as spunky and free spirited.
    • Averted by Marcie, the quiet bookworm mouse.
  • The Flapper Despite the webcomic having a modern setting Bianca could qualify as a subversion. Her fashion sense is based on vintage styles, especially 20s looks, she enjoys listening to and singing jazz music, and she was originally going to be drawn as a brunette version of Roxie Hart from the movie version Chicago, however, she is more of a Shrinking Violet than the typical daring flapper personality.
  • Four-Girl Ensemble: The girls from the main five group of anthros:
    • Angel - The Ditz
    • Brooklyn - The Flirt
    • Jackie - The Tomboy
    • Marcie - The Smart One
  • Fur and Loathing: Parodied in the Earth Day comic strip.
  • Girlish Pigtails and Tomboyish Ponytail: Inverted. Jackie is a tomboy with pigtails while the, not necessarily girly, but more feminine Brooklyn wears her hair in a ponytail.
  • Interspecies Romance: Seen in the pilot with J.T. and Angel (cat and dog), Marcie and her boyfriend (mouse and some kind of canine), and Brooklyn and her boyfriend (mink and human)
  • Limited Wardrobe: While the colors vary, Angel is often seen wearing a tank top with a skirt or a sweetheart top dress with a cardigan.
  • Line-of-Sight Name: In the pilot, Jackie comes up with the name "Angel" after looking at her iPod playlist and spotting Aerosmith a song with that title.
  • Long Hair Is Feminine: Played straight by Marcie and Brooklyn, however, most of the other female characters (not just the tomboyish Jackie) have hair that is shoulder length or shorter.
  • Manic Pixie Dream Boy Sparky to Bianca.
  • Token Human Sparky and Bianca are the only humans in the main cast (however, there have been some other humans, such as Brooklyn's love interest seen in two scenes of the pilot)
