What is an appropriate way to end a parenthetical comment with emoticons?

Yes, I did steal this from xkcd, but I have wondered that before (and xkcd didn’t answer my question ;) ). I hope you understand my question (for those of you that have read a lot of my comments, you know I tend to use lots of parenthesis :)

@Baloo72 Ditto! I’m surprised they haven’t done a fluther parody yet.

I used to employ mismatched example #1 (like this ;-).

But then I switched to a Japanese kana character (like this ツ).
