Sounds like "Peanuts" humor; though if memory serves, the actual strip involved Lucy correcting Charlie Brown during a baseball game, saying that the question should be "Whom are we kidding?" when CB is insisting that they can still win the game...

"Speaking of grammar, I recall seeing the following sequence in an old "Beetle Bailey" comic strip. It went something like this: The general's secretary replied to the upstart second lieutenant's telephone demand to speak to the general: "Who shall I say is calling?" He corrected her, "It's not "who shall I say is calling," it's "whom shall I say is calling, because 'whom' is the object of 'say.'" As the secretary banged down the receiver, the general asked, "Who was that calling?" Her answer, "Whom cares!"

I think that the comic I'm thinking of might have been that Beetle Bailey comic, but I was confusing it with a Peanuts comic where Charlie Brown is lying in bed. "Sometimes I lie awake at night in bed and I ask, Is it all worth it?' And then a voice says, 'Who are you talking to?' And another voice says, 'You mean: to whom are you talking?' And I say, 'No wonder I lie awake at night.'"
