A single line nono, I don't recall having seen one before.

Wow, what an interesting observation! I do a lot of line drawings, but they all tend to end up getting a little disconnected or shaded. So I came up with a definition of a "single-line nono": (a) B&W, (b) no thickening beyond 2x3 (so no 2x4 or 3x3), (c) fully connected, without diagonal (non-touching) connections, (d) loops are allowed but only if there is just one clear path for a pencil to go through. Of my own nonos, only one other qualifies:

It isn't a very good example because it is so small -- it would count as having non-line solid areas if it weren't so small. I found 5 examples that meet all but the looping requirement (d):

www.nonograms.org/nonograms/i/49060

This one is almost perfect but has one diagonal connector:

Both a Peano curve and a Hilbert curve would satisfy a much stricter definition, but unfortunately they'd probably be considered too abstract to qualify for this site. Solving them would be interesting, although given how regular they are, people would probably figure out the patterns and end up relying on those patterns rather than truly solving them.
On the other hand, one could probably start with one of those and, treating it like a filled-in canvas, start splicing out loops of the curve to create a negative-space image of something concrete. Maybe that would fly.
