Oh hey, I remember those things! I can’t for the life of me remember what they’re called, though, so I’ll just call them “toy binoculars with pictures”.
I never owned a GAF Viewmaster, but I did have a projector as a kid that used the same disc medium. Of course the projector could not provide 3D (Stereoscopic) imagery as the hand-held unit does. https://youtu.be/BDZE0E3O3PQ
Sadly, these were hi-tech when I was a kid. A little boring after the fifth viewing, though, but now I just write that off as early training for the era of eternal reruns we now live in.
I remember the Viewmaster! My brother and I each had one. The discs we had were for “Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day”, “Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner”, “Lady and the Tramp”, “Toy Story”, and several others that I can’t remember.
Usually, I don’t like fantasy/ dream sequences in comic strips when they serve no real purpose, but I’d make an exception for Elf Princess Phoebe and Her Rainbowcorn.

Does Marigold secretly wish for a rainbow mane? And if so, why doesn’t she just dye it?

Hey, Dana? You have the original files from when this was drawn. Think you could move some layers around to make it actually stereoscopic?

Marigold wishes to be Princess Celestia, but forgot the wings.

and just a couple of days ago, we got one in with several slides. Dating back to the 60s, first I’ve seen in quite awhile. I always loved them too.

I had a Viewmaster! Loved that thing. It showed you 3D pics of all sorts of things, and you could buy packs of different groups of things.

My grandfather had a stereoscope with several boxes of cards for it.

I had a Viewmaster and a projector with a bunch of slides, and my aunt had a really old Viewmaster with a ton of slides.
