Unless there are good reasons to do so, it's best not to mix
traditional and lattice (or other grid-based) graphics. You could
(1) use traditional graphics functions boxplot() and stripchart() as
you have already tried, or
(2) use lattice functions bwplot() and stripplot(). To learn how to
combine them in a single page, see ?print.trellis (par("mfrow") will
not work).
