Comment icons

OK, dilemma here. Does the pointy part of a comment bubble icon face left or right? Consider:

comments_left

versus:

comments_right

so, which one says “Comments” more directly?

To clarify, here’s the one in the WordPress admin (I designed it):

wordpress_icon

And here’s the one on digg.com:

digg_icon

I kinda wish now that I had made the point face left, like in digg.com, but maybe not…

    I vote for left… it doesn’t force your eye to go backwards. Wait, is this is trick question?

    Definitely better one, not better two.

    Definately the first one. It just ‘feels’ better.

    I would go for left too.
