Side by side pie charts are very much frowned upon by the statistics community. In his book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, Edward Tufte even goes so far to say that it is the least useful form of presenting information possible. Maybe a different kind of presentation would work better? Sorry to be an asshole! I do really, really like the visual design of your charts. Keep it up!
