Beginning

Hey guys! I exist in comic form!

There are two things that are incredibly accurate about this comic:

• In a century, I’m a space empress.
• In a century, I’m still dropping Hamilton references.

…actually, now that you mention it, I could absolutely believe that century-old space empresses would make a habit of ancient pop-culture references, just in general. That particular reference is probably too obscure to communicate “Do not trifle with me, child. I was here long before your parents were born, and I have every intention of being here long after you are dust in the wind. You do not want to get in the way of that goal.”, but it could still serve as staying in practice for when it’s time to deal with other gerontocrats. (And there’s always personal amusement, of course.)
