There are incidents in writing when you do use a comma and a "and" together in the same sentence structure. The coma comes before the "and", not after it. Here is an example: I love to eat french fries, bacon, and chocolate; not together though.
Susie said, "I love to have music playing and," she sneezed, "watch TV while I am doing my homework. It drives my mother crazy that I get straight "A"s and she did not when she was a teenager."
Notice that in this sentence her dialog is interrupted right when she says "and". Therefore a comma was used. This would be a very narrow instance when that would happen. Remember that the comma goes before the and when you are listing things in a sentence. The and is used before the last item.
