Only two named female characters and they're never on screen at the same time.

No surprise here as the original source comics are noted for their complete lack of female characters. Hervé, the writer, resisted the criticism that he was sexist. His goal was to write adventure "boy scout" stories; in such a prepubescent world, girls don't figure.

I am not defending his reasoning, but just calling attention to it. Given that Hervé was doing these strips in the 1940s, one can see the context.

At least he was honest.
