If Bob remained the same age but had a wife 20-30 years his junior, then it would be fairly reasonable to assume she’d be a gold digger like Barb was. Maybe more “with it”, but all that would change probably would be her taking all of Bob’s money and basically putting the bare minimum effort into Chris. This will either hurt or help him. If the abusive babysitter scenario still occurred, he’d be mute and remain mute until the only option would be a group home once he hit 18.
If the mute episode didn’t happen then he’d probably just be more solitary and less attention seeking. He’d still play video games, obsess over Sonic/Pokemon, and probably still make comics, but the extent of his tizzum would remain within the confines of dA like every other sped with a Chadwick the Blazehog OC. 7 out of 10 times these spergs come from broken homes; divorce, single moms, poverty, etc. Chris having that kind of life would mean he’d be less spoiled and possibly less of an egotist, but he’d be more on the level of Spax3 or Sonmanic.
tl;dr still a lolcow, just not the lolcow
