If I recall, Lucy asked Linus or Rerun to hold the ball for Charlie Brown while she was gone for a moment. She panics when her brother has a grin on his face later on.
The fun has gone out of viewing the Sunday Peanuts strip online since I found out GoComics is not presenting Schulz’s entire cartoon. They seem to be deleting the second panel of the strip regularly so as to format it vertical instead of horizontal as was intended. See the original as created – Oct 11, 1970. My home town news paper prints it, colorized also, correctly.
On a somewhat sad note, this strip captures an element of Charles Schulz’s own sense of self. Near the end of his life he revealed that he had always identified with Charlie Brown and said “I never got to kick the football.” Perhaps in some way that sense of somehow not having lived as fully as one might have reflects all of us and our inner fears.

Why doesn’t CB just get one of those tripod stick thingys to hold the ball?

Yes, when Schulz was alive, people didn’t lose their minds when you publicly quoted from the Bible.

Schultz should have let Charlie kick the damn football after he learned he was dying.

I always hated that CB was so stupid he never learned from his mistakes.

I think I would enjoy having $1 for every Peanuts fan who wished that, just once, Charlie Brown kicked Lucy instead of the football!

Where is Snoopy? He would certainly give her a good kicking!
