>what they did was hand picked a rescaling that makes the plots line up very nicely

I bet dollars to donuts that's what a stardization would show too, unless I'm missing something. It would show an even more perfect lining up because it would line up the line ends.

Wish I could test it. Wish pandas had a read_image function to get data from line plots like it has read_html.

Below each chart discussion in the article there's a link to the data, which in this case points to: https://infographics.economist.com/databank/Economist_dogs.c....
