Ok, I made this #ggplot2 for a... reason years ago. I'm pretty sure the reason is to show that {ggimage} is great for putting your own images as a geom_object for ggplot2.

Yes, there are more serious reasons to use ggimage than just a Danny Devito plot.

I downloaded a gif of a walking goose and made it walk across my #ggplot2. It's a combination of ggimage, gganimate, and magick . Incorporate this silly, dangerous goose to your #dataviz to make sure your audience pays attention.

I ended up having a lot of trouble with the geom_flags function in "ggimage", but found a workaround.

Well, depending on your exact font/computer setup you could potentially use unicode symbols with scale_shape_manual() or packages like ggimage, ggimg, or emojifont.
