Two recent Pearls Before Swine strips:

(#1)

(#2)

Doctor. Doctor Seuss was, of course, not a doctor of anything. Briefest story, from Wikipedia:

Theodor Seuss Geisel (… March 2, 1904 – September 24, 1991) was an American writer, poet, and cartoonist. He was most widely known for his children’s books written and illustrated as Dr. Seuss.

Constitutional. A pun. The two relevant senses, from NOAD2:

adjective   of or relating to an established set of principles governing a state: a constitutional amendment.

noun dated   a walk, typically one taken regularly to maintain or restore good health.
