This clue might be a double definition.

'count' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'an old gasbag' is the second definition.
'zeppelin' can be an answer for 'gasbag' (airship). I am not sure about the 'an old' bit.

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for zeppelin that I've seen before include "German invention" , "Cigar-shaped airship" , "German inventor, designer of the first rigid motorised airship, d. 1917" , "old gas-bag" , "one of the earliest air-ships" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
