Cool Haircuts for Boys

Turns out it's as hard to come up with a good haircut for a fictional boy as is it for my own son. I started doing a few quick character studies but I think I'm going to work from the outside in on this story and start with sketching spreads.

Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor

I've got an idea for a story where a boy is sent by his mom to the neighbors to borrow a cup of sugar. Of course, his experience of that simple task only grows more epic in his imagination. I'm imagining a picket fence as an impenatrable high-fantasy wall, an encounter with a neighborhood puppy as a Herculean task, and a lawn sprinkler as an acid-spewing villain—all to be overcome by our boy/intergalactic hero.
