--->'''Newsreader:''' The two men were taken away in the ambulance, and were last seen heading towards Zanytown. In a statement issued just now, Boss Dog urged all citizens not to approach them. The uglier of the two men - the thin-faced, mean-looking one - has already punched a pig and is considered to be dangerous.\\
'''Fitz:''' Uglier? Mean looking?\\
'''Newsreader:''' That’s right, buster, I’m talking about ''you''!

On reflection, that's covered by Raised By Wolves. Wild Child is a specific subtrope that doesn't fit this instance.


* WifeHusbandry: Angel Falls and Mr. Weasley. Incidentally, it does seem a bit strange that he still actively takes the role of her "guardian" even though she's apparently twenty-one, which you would think is old enough to get by fine without an anthropomorphic weasel taking care of her, but what do I know?
* WildChild: A baby is lost in a jungle, and the character who loses it reassures himself with the thought that it's bound to be raised by friendly wild animals.

* {{Deconstruction}}: ''The Crooked World'' is a deconstruction of ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''-esque cartoons as the Doctor lands in a cartoon world and begins to influence its inhabitants' behaviors towards naturalism.



* RogerRabbitEffect: The cover suggests that the normal characters have been cartoonified, but they never remark on any such thing, suggesting they haven't been, suggesting that they're wandering around the cartoon landscape looking realistic and three-dimensional.

* WeHaveToGetTheBulletOut: Averted. The Doctor gets shot with a blunderbuss, and, seeing that the bleeding has already stopped, Fitz decides there's nothing to do except clean him up a bit. However, the Doctor does later attribute his speedy recovery to the fact the buckshot mysteriously dissolved.
