If you have another library that builds SVG charts or diagrams, Rough.js is really fun and usually very simple to include.
When combined with a handwritten font like humour sans[0] You can instantly turn a chart into something that looks more like an XKCD drawing.
No idea why, but I find the hand-drawn look is universally more engaging for charts and diagrams, causing people to actually pay attention and ask questions. It looks like some of the example links[1] need updating. But the WiredJS[2] site is a good demo of the look I am describing.
