Welcome
Hi Folks, my name's Dave Lupton - Cartoonist. Welcome to my web showcase, which will give you some insight into my published cartooning work over the past 30 odd years (don't look old enough do I?!) under my two separate alter-egos, "Sox" and "Crippen".
My mainstream alter ego is "Sox", and includes a number of classic series like "Laughabull" and "Driving over Lemons". Choose any of the "Sox" links for gallery samples.
I've also been drawing as "Crippen - Disabled Cartoonist", since the 1980's and although it's mainly fellow crips who know my work, it has appeared in mainstream press and on TV and film. Again, choose any of the "Crippen" links for gallery samples.

What's New - 22nd May 2008 - Dave is still working hard and has created a new book for you to purchase from the Sox Products page. It's entitled 'Global Warning' and looks at some of the issues around our changing environment - albeit looking through his legs! A few of the three block cartoon strips from this publication will follow soon in the Sox gallery section.
Blogging - And don't forget, with his Crippen hat on he's still blogging away on the Disability Arts on Line 
web site, averaging four new cartoons every month. He's currently giving Gorden Brown a pasting for alleging that Disabled people aren't really human!
Stop Press - For those intrepid motorhome enthusiasts amongst you, you'll find that Sox cartoons will soon start to appear on the letters page of the illustrious 'Motorcaravan & Motorhome Monthly' (MMM). Of course you can get to see the whole series by purchasing the book 'Camping it up' from the Sox Products page.
Book Sales - Orders are still coming in for both the Sox books and the Crippen books that are now available on the respective products pages. So far the systems, involving PayPal and PayLoadz are handling the transactions pretty well, mostly due to the efforts of our Web Master Ken and his nifty coding! Keep checking though, as more books are being created and uploaded all of the time to this site.
