Since a comment string is enclosed by quotes ... I would have to assume that single quotes should not be used in a comment

Not so.

It's perfectly possible to use quotes - it's just fiddly if you use character literals to enter them.

select 'That''s All Folks!' quote ; 

+-------------------+
| quote             |
+-------------------+
| That's All Folks! |
+-------------------+

In real application code, you should use Parameterised Queries that take care of this "doubling-up" for you.
