Lucy asks is he's afraid of heights; if so, he could have acrophobia. If he's afraid of enclosed areas, he could have claustrophobia. If he's afraid of... (she goes through about eight Sunday panels with different kinds of phobias.) Then she says that he could have agoraphobia. Lucy: You could have agoraphobia. Do you think you have agoraphobia? C. Brown: I don't know. What's agoraphobia? Lucy: The fear of everything. C. Brown: THAT'S IT! (Lucy is sent flying through the air when he yells that out. You can probably remember how Charles Schultz draws it.) Jeff Bowles Lisle, IL
