'comic' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'had me on wearing stockings in the bag' is the wordplay.
'wearing' indicates an anagram (wear can mean to become damaged).
'stockings' becomes 'hose' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in the bag' becomes 'd' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'had'+'me'+'on'='hadmeon'
'hadmeon' is an anagram of 'homeand'.
'homeand'+'hose'+'d'='HOME AND HOSED'
