$comments stays empty

I’ve hacked my own theme (http://www.tnl.net/blog ) but one thing doesn’t seem to work: comments.

Basically, comments are published (they show up in the DB) but I don’t seem able to retrieve them. I get a comment count no problem but when I try to initialize an array to create comments it’s a no-go.. Here’s the code I have in comments.php:

$post_id = $post->ID;
$comments = get_approved_comments($post_id);
if ($comments) :
print comments_number(‘No Responses’, ‘One Response’, ‘% Responses’ );

foreach ($comments as $comment) :
print “<div class=\”entry\”>”.chr(13).”<h3></h3>”;
print “<p class=\”desc\” id=\”comment-“.comment_ID().”\”>”.comment_text().””.chr(13);
print “<p class=\”meta\”>”.comment_type(“Comment”, “Trackback”, “Pingback”).” by “.comment_author_link().comment_date().” @ “.comment_time().”“.edit_comment_link(“Edit This”, ” • “).”</div>”.chr(13);
endforeach;
else:
print “No comments at this time”;
endif

Any ideas?
