Inspired by this clever image, I thought I would whip it up in R.

Below is the R code:
 # Prepare -----------------------------------------------------------------  
 rm(list=ls());gc()  
 pkg <- c("ggplot2")  
 inst <- pkg %in% installed.packages()  
 if(length(pkg[!inst]) > 0) install.packages(pkg[!inst])  
 lapply(pkg,library,character.only=TRUE)  
 rm(inst,pkg)  
 # Create dataset ----------------------------------------------------------  
 d1 <- data.frame(member=c(rep("Homer",3),  
              rep("Marge",3),  
              rep("Bart",3),  
              rep("Lisa",2),

              28,15,  
              18,11))
