Please, the fate of my comic is in your hands! If you can rip all the sprites on the sprite sheets I email/PQ you, and re-send the ripped sprites back to me. If you can do this for me, please post here, PQ, or email me at benrobinson133@gmail.com. Thank you.

Just because you're the only one to comment on this doesn't mean you have to be a total dick about it.

I'm not sure exactly what the point of this request is, but I guess I could help?

Ok, I email you the spritsheets I want to be ripped. Then you resend me the ripped images when you finish. Then you get thanked over and over again in my comic as I babble about how great you are. Unless someone can tell me how to rip sprites off a spritesheet easily.

In photoshop. Take the sheet, crop to get the figure you're interested in, take magic wand tool, select the background and delete it. As easy as that.

Don't have photoshop. I'm not paying $500+ just to do that. My comic is important to me, but not that important.

Then find a cheaper alternative. Try in free GIMP for instance.
Basically what you need to do is crop the sheet so that you have only the image you need and remove the white background (magic wand is good to select plain background). Save to a gif/png file, reopen the sheet and repeat for each and every picture you need.

Or you can make your own sprites. Just paint them on transparent canvas in GIMP. It doesn't require very high skills, because they're small and use only a few colors, anyway.

Okay, I used to have Gimp, I'll reinstall it and try that.

I couldn't figure it out on Gimp but I got it on Paint.net! Thanks for the help!
