Editor's Note: This interview is one in a series of conversations with Indianapolis business owners working to make it through the winter.

As the traditional holiday shopping and spending season begins, we'll bring you a series of conversations with local business owners. In this interview, the owner of Downtown Comics in Indianapolis found ways to stay virtually connected to customers. Doug Stephenson owns the comic store near the circle and told WFYI’s Terri Dee how his 27-year-old business is staying open, despite the decline in foot traffic, as fewer people work downtown.

Caitlin Clark posted the first triple-double by a rookie in WNBA history to rally Indiana to an 83-78 victory over New York on Saturday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, snapping the Fever's nine-game losing streak to the Liberty. Clark finished with 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds for Indiana (9-13). Aliyah Boston finished with 18 points on 8-for-12 shooting and had eight rebounds for the Fever. Sabrina Ionescu scored 22 to lead New York, which had won five straight games. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton added 20 points, Clark, the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, was one rebound shy of a triple-double two games ago in an 88-82 road victory over the Phoenix Mercury.
