I’m sorry to see from the subsequent strips that Schulz never followed up on this. I get the joke — Lucy getting upset after assuring CB that she wouldn’t — but it would have been fun to see why this particular question bugged her so much? Maybe she’s an atheist?

“I do not pray. . . . I do not expect God to single me out and grant me advantages over my fellow men. . . . Prayer seems to me a cry of weakness, and an attempt to avoid, by trickery, the rules of the game as laid down. I do not choose to admit weakness. I accept the challenge of responsibility.”—Zora Neale Hurston
