Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Our fingers as a manipulation tool are unparalleled in our bodies for their dexterity and ability to do minute tasks.
Moving a ball / mouse that moves another object will almost always be more precise than a simple touch, at least until the intervening technology to translate our fingers adjustments reaches the same capability as mice.
I don't see how a touch interface could ever be as precise as a mouse. The pointer is much smaller than a fingertip and you can't really scale it without having to make the touch surface enormous or zoom in and out all the time. Even using a drawing tablet is less fluid than a mouse and it eliminates the issues with the lack of precision.
