[[Kate Osann's]]''Tizzy'' cartoons first appeared in ''Collier's''. The redheaded Tizzy was a teenage American girl who wore horn-rimmed glasses with triangular lenses. ''Tizzy'' was syndicated by [[United Media|NEA]] after ''Collier's'' folded. The cartoons were in color in ''Collier's'' but black-and-white in syndication and paperback reprints.

After [[World War II]], [[Harry Devlin]] became the top editorial cartoonist at ''Collier's'', one of the few publications then displaying editorial cartoons in full color. During the 1940s, Gurney Williams was the cartoon editor for ''Collier's'', ''American Magazine'' and ''Woman's Home Companion'', paying $40 to $150 for each cartoon. From a staggering stack of some 2000 submissions each week, Williams made a weekly selection of 30 to 50 cartoons, lamenting:
{{blockquote|The other day I found myself staring at the millionth cartoon submitted to me since I became humor editor here. I wish it could have been fresh and original. Instead, it showed several ostriches with their heads buried in the sand. Two others stood nearby. Said one to the other: "Where is everybody?"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,793176-1,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121025144149/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,793176-1,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 25, 2012 |title="This Little Gag Went...", ''Time'', August 12, 1946 |publisher=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |date=1946-08-12 |access-date=2018-02-12}}</ref>}}

[[Joseph Barbera]], before he found fame in animation, had several cartoons published in ''Collier's'' in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
