Dear family and friends,
It is Carl`s wish that I write to his close friends and family and explain his current health condition. As most of you know Carl was diagnosed with Leukemia in July of 1999. The doctor has been treating the cancer with a very mild form of oral chemotherapy. Over the past 4 to 6 weeks Carl`s health has steadily become worse. He is very weak and tired, and spends the greater part of his day in bed or resting in his chair. Carl has requested all medications that are prolonging his life be stopped. He will no longer be given his chemotherapy pills.
Helen Hunicke and I oversee Carl`s care. We are doing everything in our power to keep him comfortable. Helen arranged for Hospice care. There is a nurse and an aid who assist in Carl`s personal care and work with his doctor to insure that he is receiving the correct medication to help keep him comfortable.
Short letters, cards or family photos would be enjoyed and appreciated, but please know that Carl is unable to respond to them. Helen or I will periodically keep you informed as to his condition. Also phone calls and visits should be kept brief due to the fact that he tires very quickly.

Danke YPS für die Mitteilung. Natürlich ist Barks 99. Natürlich hat er sein gigantisches Lebenswerk seit über 30 Jahren nicht mehr wesentlich erweitert. Natürlich sollte er friedlich heimgehen dürfen. Mir ist Pathos fremd, aber wenn er geht, wird doch was fehlen. Irgendwie wirkte Barks so ewig. Good luck, poor old man. Komm gut an in Trallala.

Danke für die Info.
Ich muss Murxes Recht geben: Als ich Carl vor ein paar Jahren - 1994 - getroffen habe, hatte man wirklich den Eindruck, dass diesen Mann nichts umwerfen könnte.
Ich bin nur froh, dass er seine letzte Zeit in Ruhe und in der Gesellschaft von ihm wohl gesonnen Leuten verbringen konnte.

Dear family and friends,
Carl would like to thank all of you who sent cards, letters, or called after hearing of his illness. He regrets that he could not answer each and every person personally. His declining health does not permit that. His sickness makes him extremely weak.
Although his health is continuing to fail, he still thinks about all the work that needs to completed.
Carl appreciates your generous and flattering comments and knows that if it were not for all of you that he would not be famous today.

(hand signed) Carl Barks
Thank you for your concern and prayers.

Sincerely,
Carl's caregivers

Written for Carl Barks

Auf der Homepage von Dreidreizehn findet man nun folgenden Brief von Carl Barks:


July 22, 2000
Dear Friends and kinfolks:
It is time for me to write an update on the letter sent out some weeks ago by my Helen and Serene. As stated in that letter, my health is badly out of balance. The Leukemia that slowly destroys the ability of my blood to carry oxegen to my vital organs has almost shut down my circulation. I am hooked to an oxygen concentrator much of the time...breathe through tubes that connect to my nose.
Because of my condition a constant weakness. Can barely hold my eyes open. I've lost all sense of taste and smell, and sleep in short sequences.
I have no idea how long I can live in this form of half/life. I assure all of you that I wish you best of luck.
Carl Barks
