Documentation says to use -comment '.....' before reading the image or use -set comment '....' after reading the image.

"-comment string

Embed a comment in an image.
This option sets the comment meta-data of an image read in after this option has been given. To modify a comment of images already in memory use "-set comment".

Correct syntax would then be either:

convert -comment 'anything' 00.gif 00a.gif
or

convert 00.gif -set comment 'anything' 00a.gif


Hope that helps.
