Archie's Double Digest Magazine #208
In "Give Until It Hurts," Little Archie takes his father’s tale of Noah’s Ark to heart—literally—transforming an old rowboat into a makeshift ark on Carson’s Creek, where he charges his friends jelly beans for passage. When Ambrose, lacking beans and barred from boarding, tries to stop the flood by "pulling the plug" on the creek, tensions rise in this heartfelt, humorous tale written and drawn by Bob Bolling. The cover by Pat Kennedy and Jon D'Agostino captures the whimsical chaos of the moment.

After his father tells him the story of Noah and the Ark, Little Archie builds his own ark out of the old rowboat on Carson's Creek, and lets everyone come on the ark in exchange for a fee of jelly beans. Ambrose, who has no jelly beans and isn't allowed on the ark, tries to think of a way to prevent a flood by "pulling the plug" on the creek.
