It's the same bishop / priest / holy person in all 6 parts of the comic. This is showing the progression of a person following their desires.

  • At first, he doesn't look
  • Next, he side glances
  • Then, he's glancing a lot
  • Then, he's blatantly staring
  • After that, he's actually engaging
  • Finally, he has apparently succumbed to his desires and engaged enough to no longer wear his robes and have a kid.

Also, in the last frame she is wearing his old robe.

I think I got all that, but is there a joke in this? Or is it just supposed to be a heartwarming story or whatever?

Yeah, I don't think there's a concrete joke in this. Many comics are just a light chuckle as you flip through the newspaper...
