Alfred Schnittke Reborn!

As the father of two young children, I have become very familiar with the Huggies diaper baby, to a degree far beyond anything I would have wanted. Gradually I have realized that this baby has a face I have seen before.

The baby's face, particularly the hair, belong to none other than 20th century Russian composer Alfred Schnittke, as this 1989 photograph proves. Within a decade of this photograph, Schnittke was dead. Soon after, the Huggies baby started appearing on diaper boxes everywhere. Coincidence? I think not.
