We moved from DC to Tunis around 1975. Among the culture-capsule of books we took with us was a dog-eared copy of "Zoom", which was the accompanying book to the launch of the WGBH children's show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7gzHLKT5g4) of the same name. Somewhere within was a B/W photo-montage of the schtick being played with an accordion-folded sheet of paper acting, in turn, as moustache, hair-bow, and bow tie. I believe the alternate page was the lyrics to the song "The Cat Came Back", with pencil drawings to accompany it. These are the only two items from said book that have managed to stick in memory.

I, too, have seen no evidence that any other human being had heard of this until now; albeit also due to lack of question-pointery.
