Trannywolf (Swedish title: Transavarg) is a humorous webcomic and Flash cartoon franchise by Fröken Keke. The comic centers around the lives and times of a wolf who gains the ability to switch genders. Trannywolf is primarily hosted on Smackjeeves and is intended to be updated every Friday, though actual updates are very irregular. While the protagonist shares its name with the author, the stories are purely fictional.

Plot

Trannywolf is the story about the transgendered wolf Keke/Kiki who, after a lab accident gains the ability to switch genders through the use of a necklace. The stories are episodic and mostly self-contained, usually slice of life with occasional fantastical elements. The setting is a fictional Swedish suburb called Lunaville.

There has been several crossovers with the webcomic Sounds Like a Melody by Owlor, to the extent that the comics can be considered to have a shared universe.
