The shading can be for 1-3 hours.
hmm.. i do my pages in batches, so its hard to tell. but id estimate its an hour for sketching, half an hour for final lines, then 45 minutes for colour and 15 for letters and finishing touches. so 2.5 hours per page
From my current series, about 2 and a half hours. But if I start my big serious ones I dunno, maybe 2 days too.
It takes me 2 hours coz it's only a simplified style, also I do it on my phone so it's a little challenging coz of the small screen.
It sorta depends on when I have time to actually do pages. Sometimes, when I have a lot of time, it takes about 1 - 2 hours per page. Though, there are moments when I get the lining done for one page along with finishing another page, so that adds into the factor.
I think on average, give or take, I can finish 2 pages in 1 - 3 hours.
Uh I dont know if this was specifically for novels or comics but sometimes one page will be a couple of hours to a day to write.
i originally intended it for novels (because it was on the novels topic thing) but it can be both! feel free to...say whatever y'all wanna say
I'm doing pages in batches mostly, but when I have to make just one page for some reason, it takes around six hours to get done.
Comics anywhere from hours to a day. My novel its usually a couple of hours maybe a day if I'm stuck.
The fastest I've been able to finish a page so far has been about three days. One day for character inking, coloring and speech bubbles. One Day for background inking and coloring. One day for shading and finishing touches. I could probably do more but lately with my schedule I haven't been able to fit in longer sessions.
I work with a team, but I'd say for a page start to finish it's about 10-12 hours. The writer and I spend quite a bit of time thumbnailing first (and however long it takes her to write the story), which I think speeds up the process. However, its a couple of hours for sketching pages then inking them, a few hours for my partner to color flats, then I spend a few hours painting backgrounds and adding shading. She spends some time on text bubbles and formatting..
Really it just takes forever, but at least its not all those hours for just one person!
I draw a simpler black and white strip, so dependent on background quality, it usually gives or takes about 3-4 hours. Sometimes less, depending on how distracted I am.
Days. I work a FT job- a lot of times it extends into evening hours, so I work on my page as much as I can. I usually get in most of the work over the weekend.
I would say 6-8 hours for me but generally that means around a week to finish because...student life.
It really depends on the page, but I'd say it averages between 7-12 hours. It's hard for me to say though, since I tend to work on two pages at once, and bounce between them as I do the work.So that's...more like how long it takes to work on two at the same time??
One to two days of writing, depending.
On a good day, a few hours. Or minutes, really.
If there's too many requirements, I can be set back by about a week.
Student life.
Pages for Project SHaDe vary, and I'm experimenting with workflows at the moment, but they usually take about 1.5 for each page. I'm trying to achieve maximum speed while also maintaining good quality, as I've got a lot to get through.
Depends if it has a lot of backgrounds or not.
For no BGs, it's usually 2-3 hours (for the sketch, lineart, color, text, formatting, etc) and an additional 2-3 hrs if it has a lot of BGs

Without internet distraction: 1-2 hours (i update in 3 pages though)
With internet distraction: 4 weeks
Assuming I already have the panels sketched out, then after I get off of work, I can usually get a full page's lineart, inking, shading, and special effects done in about five or six hours. But that doesn't include the dialogue bubbles, text, and sound effects. I think I am way too obsessed with detail. Hopefully the end result pays off.
Last time I checked it was about 6 hours per page (sketch, dialogue and SFX, ink, stop timing while I wait to get it back with tones from my co-artist, QC, finish up).
But like @dawgofdawgness said if it's including internet distraction it takes me a lot longer, haha.
About my comic "GLINT"4:
I count near 15 hours of non-stop no-rest hard working, but of course I have other things to do and the life to live, so one page usually takes about 4-5 nights. 
it takes me a few days to finish a page, since I usually upload one page per week. however, it takes a few hours to a day for me to finish a panel.
Considering sketching, inking, grayscale, light/movement effects, etc. I would say it takes me 25-30 hours depending of the page.
Pretty funny actually; when I started my comic, it only took me a few hours to make a page. XP
I usually spread the work around several days, but the whole process of sketching, outlining, coloring and digital clean up takes me about 9-13 hours, depending on the details of the page. But that also accounts for the fact that watercolor has to DRY UP. My god it is annoying to interrupt you work flow to wait for the stupid watercolor to DRY ALREADY. The struggle, oh the struggle.

I write at least 2k words a day, that is my daily goal. Sometimes I do a just under especially if I'm working on a scene and it ends , or sometimes if I'm invested I will do more than 2k. I can get this done in around an hour or two. Writing for the past few years has allowed me to get a lot of what I want down. I'm an outline writer and a Dungeon Master so I need to work from a script/outline to ensure I can focus. I will sometimes discovery write my characters. But, if I am slowed down in my 2k words per day I usually have to look at my outline to see if there is a problem there.
For me it depends on how much time I have and how critical of my writing I am going to be that day.
Usually I will take 2-3 hours to write, walk away, come back the next with fresh eyes and make edits. Then I will post the next day. I aim to upload once a week but lately I have been getting them out a little quicker than that. Sometimes though I do so much thinking and back spacing that it feels like it takes me forever!
I don't really know what you mean by a page like do you mean on docs, an episode on Tapas or a chapter?
On a docs file a page could take me like 4-5 minutes to write. An episode/chapter would take me 10 minutes on an average without distractions mostly because of researching halfway through.
Lessee... This is an interesting question that demands some elaboration.
My first draft(of a single chapter) can take anywhere from 2-4 hours to write. Then there's the second draft, which will take another 2-4 hours. Final draft plus final edits takes another 2-4 hours.
(EDIT: Btw, 1 chapter from me is about 4-6 open office pages)
That said, my second and final draft are just me going through the whole draft and editing it thoroughly.
Roughly 30 - 90 minutes for one page - it's fortunate that my comic is mostly black and white.
Since my main tools are just fineliners, it's a simple and quick to initiate process - the focus with only my fineliners makes the whole session pretty contemplative. It's like building up an image little by little, with tiny strokes of line.
Shading and lettering is done separately, after it's finished and scanned. That process is usually very conveyor belt-like, unless the page is quite complex.
It's a good time so far.
I used to take a lot longer but since I make comics on the weekly i've really crunched my numbers. I calculate by panel since 1 page is not necessarily always the same.
I can do a panel in 15-30 mins. I usually write the whole script at the begining of the week in maybe 45 mins. lol it takes a lot of practice and corner cutting though and while that sounds bad, I also gotta draw 30 panels a week so you do what ya gotta do
For one page of a novel, which with my usual formatting is around 500-600 words, it takes me about an hour on a good day. On a bad day, it takes me two or three. (I'm a slow writer, most of that time is just me thinking, haha) For one page of a comic, anywhere between four and nine hours depending on the content of the panels 
If we're talking novel chapters, probably closer to seven or eight hours total. I take it pretty slow on chapters to reduce my editing load later on.

From my comic Osca
A page like this will take me around a day or two; which includes storyboards. All the line work was done traditionally!
