Ha, no. Retraction would have been an intellectually honest move, and Comfort can't have that! What actually happened, as far as I can remember, is that he claimed that we evil atheists were taking his argument out of context, and that his full argument- which was basically the same concept repeated about a Coke can, and so was flawed for the same reasons- was still completely fine. After the whole thing, banana and can both, completely vanished from his repertoire, Comfort moved from claiming that the argument was sound, to using it as a self effacing joke in seminars, without any intermediate steps.
I know there's video of that out there, I wish I could find it.
