You’re right! He did mention Lila in the first panel! Good spot!
On re-reading it, therefore, that makes Charlie Brown’s comment quite different in meaning— he’s telling Snoopy that he assumed too much and made a mistake in calling out Lila’s name! As opposed to our thinking Charlie was simply pointing out someone who didn’t Valentine him and trying to rub it in!
The story is, in reality, Charlie Brown got more valentines than pretty much anybody else on the planet – because kids sent them to him through their newspapers after seeing strips like these. There’s a similar story about kids sending him Halloween candy.
To mabrndt & mcbrach1999, I put those names in becausesnoopy is a celebrity and I thought he would get valentines from other celebrities. These are names of very popular people. Put in whatever names you want!!!

This reminds me of Garfield and Jon: somehow the latter can understand the former’s thought balloons.

If he gets one from the little red-haired girl, it’s all over for poor CB.

Don’t send a snail mail valentine to Charles Schulz, he’s been dead since 2000.
