"Tom the Dancing Bug" by Tom Tomorrow? There's an ongoing subplot in it about "The Life of Bob". Bob is a great character, he plays Resident Evil and sees how long he can go without moving. There's also a subplot about the superhero "God-man" who always misuses his omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent superpowers to hilarious ends. I can't even describe it but I think you'd really enjoy it.
Sorry I haven't gotten back to you about the script either. I'm trying. Life is sucking and the list of things I have to do is piling up. But I'll have some feedback for you really soon, like, really soon.

: I have a tendency to throw a Bob character into my stuff whenever I can, too... but actually I've been doing it since before I caught Kevin's work, rather from the superb use of "Bob" in Weird Al's magnum opus parody of David Bowie's version of Piotr and the Wolf.
