Mosaicplot

This is a base R function, which I prefer to barplots when looking at the relationship between two categorical variables. The areas in the graphic are proportional to the counts in the specified combinations.

comics = comics %>% 
  filter(align != "Reformed Criminals")
mosaicplot(table(comics$publisher,comics$align))

Jitter

This produces clouds of points at the intersection of each row and column. With a lot of points, you need to reduce the size of the points.

comics %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = publisher, y = align)) +
  geom_jitter(size = .001)

Count

This geom puts a circle at each intersection. The size of the circle is poroportional to the count of items at the intersection.

comics %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = publisher, y = align)) +
  geom_count()
