Something interesting is happening now though. My homepage displays one comic (I use Comicpress, and the comics are where I want to have no comments), and right now there is an option to comment on the homepage comic despite using your code. However, when I click the comment link, it just brings me to the page of the post with comment options nowhere to be seen.

I came up with another way to disable comments by category with a filter, but it wasn't quite working because I use Disqus comments. This is working perfectly though! Here is the code I was using, just for reference: <code>add_filter( 'comments_open', 'falso_commento', 1 ); function falso_commento() { if ( in_category('underground') ) return false; else return true; }</code> YOU ARE THE MAN!
