How to retrieve Comment text using SQL, not psql?

[Bob Futrelle <bob.futrelle@xxxxxxxxx>]

Using pgAdmin3 I've tried this and variations on it.   All are rejected.

select COMMENT ON TABLE articlestats 

No answer here,

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/sql-comment.html

pgAdmin3 had no problem with entering a comment:

COMMENT ON TABLE articlestats IS 'Comprehensive data for every article.'
