Comic Strip Teases Gov. Ventura 

      ST. PAUL -Both of Gov. Jesse Ventura's jobs get a
 playful poke in the opening installment of "VenturaLand." 
      The comic strip debuted in Sunday editions of the
 Saint Paul Pioneer Press. It depicts Ventura
 broadcasting a football game for his new employer, the
 XFL. He turns to his partner and remarks, "that tackle
 reminds me of a hold I threw on the Hulk in '85." 
      The reply, to a visibly anguished Ventura:
 "Governor, are you any better at your day job?" 
      The one-two punch is meant to convey how people
 doubt Ventura's ability every time the ex-wrestler takes
 on a new role, said Kevin Lenagh, the free-lance artist
 who will draw "VenturaLand" once a week. Lenagh,
 47, who said he voted for Ventura and approves of the
 job the governor is doing, expects a backlash. 
      The strip's star fails to see the humor and has
 threatened legal action against the Pioneer Press, which
 he accuses of "exploiting" him to sell papers.
