With Parks & Recreation returning to the airwaves today, I thought I’d share this photo I found a while ago in a book I own. The young boy on the horse is Alfred Hitchcock, sitting in front of his family’s grocery store in Leytonstone, London, circa 1906. The man in the hat is his father, William Hitchcock.

Just look at that full, rich moustache, the sideburns, those disapproving eyes.. There’s no doubt about it: Ron Swanson is Alfred Hitchcock’s father.
