The suffix "-ster" in "Get Fuzzy"

The follow comic strip displays an excellent use of the suffix "-ster".

Published 10th July 2017

Longman Dictionary defines the suffix "-ster" is as:

1. a person who is.
Eg.: a youngster (a young person),

2. a person who is connected with, deals with, or uses.
Eg.: a trickster (a person who plays deceiving tricks),
a gangster (a member of a gang),
a pollster (someone who carries out polls).

Often, the suffix "-ster"is used in a humorous and/or derogatory manner. It is true in the case of this cartoon strip.

The table below explains the meaning of the root words and the root words + suffix, as used in this comic strip.

Root word	Meaning	Root word + Suffix	Meaning
Hip	Aware, informed, up-to-date, trendy. Also: cool, groovy. (Source)	Hipster	1. A person who is keenly interested in the latest trends or fashions.  2. A member of Bohemian counterculture. 3. An aficionado of jazz who considers himself or herself to be hip. (Source)
Limp	Lacking internal strength, energy or vigour.	Limpster	A person who lacks internal strength, energy or vigour. Also: lazy.
Dip	Stupid or foolish.	Dipster	A stupid or foolish person.

It is good to note that while "limpster" is not yet recognised as an English word, "dipster" is already a widely used slang which means "a person who actually thinks being a hipster is cool. Will never refer to themselves as one, but is obviously trying to be one." It's a blending of "dipshit" and "hipster"(source).

However, in the context of the comic strip, the character Bucky Katt precedes his use of the word "dipster" with his definition: "...he's not smart enough to realize he looks silly," obviously referring to the word "dip", a slang in North America which means stupid or foolish.
