The --no-comment option has nothing to do with comment lines in
ASCII armored output! Here is the passage from the mainpage:


       --no-comment
                 Do  not  write  comment  packets.   This  option
                 affects    only   the   generation   of   secret
                 keys.  Please note, that this has nothing to  do
                 with the comments in clear text signatures.


If you use --comment "" GPG writes *no* comment into ASCII armored
ouput.
