Canadian photographer Ulric Collette, the story goes, was experimenting in Photoshop with images of himself and his son when he got the idea of a combined portrait. He put it on Flickr and it was so immediately popular that he began seeking out subjects for a series of blended portraits (which you can view at his website via the link below).
Undoubtedly what makes them popular is demonstrating that physical likeliness lives on in offspring. People can, in some sense, outlive their four score.
I find them of interest for demonstrating how little difference there is between generations. When we are young we think we're completely different from our parents. These photos say otherwise.
