Also, since most pictures are basically left-to-right orientated, it's
better in a limited space or character context to have them on the
left, then they become less likely to get snipped, even better is
including them into the pic it's self, that way, snipping them
requires at the very least a bit of effort and perhaps even, some
small measure of creativity to replace/fix.
