Agree with Derf. You can only burn out so many times. A pub cares exactly as long as your contract. If you are broken after meeting a deadline, that’s a problem you have to deal with, not them.
The simple economics of GNs these days is that 300-page GNs, unless you are super fast with a loose style, is not sustainable. 100-150 page GNs should be your goal. That's workable.
You have to flip around a new GN every 2 years, tops. In a way that doesn't kill you physically or mentally. (10)

Lots of comics folks posting their own accounts of the deadline & workload challenges of making a GN or kids book.

I know some editors give their artists the time they need but I feel like I've been hazed most of my career. I illustrated my first picture book in a month. My second one in four months. When I said my dad is dying and I need more time they gave me three additional weeks.

I've had to explain that no, I cannot pencil and ink a 260-page GN in two months, do you even understand the words you're saying to me? I've been asked to design characters, pencil, ink, and color a 200-page GN myself in eight months (I said no).

I wish I'd thought sooner to explain to tradpub editors that illustrating a graphic novel is not like writing a prose novel or illustrating a picture book, a 250-page GN is actually like illustrating eight picture books.
