* ConfirmedBachelor: Averted: While in ''When Findus Was Little and Disappeared'', Pettson says that he wouldn't know what to do with "a whole old lady", in ''Pettson goes camping'' he mentions that when he was younger he would take trips with his wife. He is most likely a widower, which would explain his occational depressive episodes.



* ItMakesSenseInContext: The first book has a neighbour finding Pettson sweeping broken eggs into a bucket and adding his trousers, while saying that he's making a pancake cake. Then he tells the neighbour that he needs to go to the store, and promptly climbs up on the roof. Meanwhile, his cat is walking around with a curtain tied to its tail. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation (well, sort of) for all these things, but it's no wonder the neighbour walks away with the impression that Pettson is a bit crazy.
