Cartoon Segment Wanted

Does anyone have the following "Sesame Street" animated cartoon segment in their video collection, or know where I could get it? I've been wanting to see this one again since 1991. It seems that the segment has been retired prior to then. The last time I saw this was back in 1985.

Tiger (Bud Blake's comic strip character) talks about school, and what one learns there. The first scene opens with Tiger walking through a big, hollow, metal pipe. When he arrives at the school, he gets trampled on by some other kids (the others from the comic strip; Punkinhead among them). At some point, Tiger mentions that one can learn stuff in school, such as "what goes up must come down." As he says this, he throws his book up to the top of his locker; as he tries to open his locker, his book falls back down on him, hitting him on the head. Tiger then goes upstairs in his classroom. In front of the class, with some very squeaky chalk, he demonstrates how to write the word "SCHOOL" on the blackboard. He writes the last two letters ("O" and "L") on the teacher by mistake.

I have some other segments that I'd like to see, but this is the one that I'm most interested in.

gee I didn't know he was from a comic strip. Can't help you but it was kind of funny at the end. his voice also sounded like Charlie Brown's.

And for me it's the reverse; I'm very familiar with the comic strip but didn't know he was in an SS cartoon. And sorry I can't help you with getting that clip either, oldgreypole.

A couple of jokes I remember from "Tiger" years ago:

(1) Tiger's friend Hugo says he's making an ashtray for his uncle. Tiger says, "Out of wood? It'll burn, stupid." Hugo says, "No it won't. My uncle doesn't smoke."

(2) Tiger asks Hugo when his birthday is. Hugo says, "February 8th".
Tiger asks, "What year?" Hugo says, "Every year."
