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

    select COMMENT ON TABLE articlestats

No answer here,

pgAdmin3 had no problem with entering a comment:

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

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/interactive/functions-info.html
Table 9.60 Comment Information Functions

So:

test=# comment on table table1 is 'Test comment';
COMMENT

test=# select obj_description('table1'::regclass, 'pg_class');
 obj_description 

----------------- 

 Test comment
