The weird thing is I'm not sure I laughed when I first read this Peanuts strip. But I did remember it. Now it's absolutely hilarious to me.
Probably what cinches for me is that Lucy isn't just being mean. Well she is but she isn't. It's not like she's being deceitful when she asks Charlie Brown the question. She just sincerely doesn't get what constructive criticism is.

There's always something bittersweet in the encounters between Charlie Brown and Lucy. Of course the main one was that he'd always hope she wouldn't pull the football away this time.
Constructive criticism was entirely beyond Lucy. Calvin and Hobbes confrontations with Susie are thoroughly entertaining; Clavin never wins those either but he's always ready for next time.
