Looks like it is Bob and George, specifically Jailhouse Blues.

There it is! Thank you very much!
And then several pages later they rehash the gag a little bit; I remember now!

I recall a particular occasion of the Smoke Shield trope which ended with the attackee calling out to the attacker "Don't you watch Dragonball Z? Firing into a cloud of smoke never works!" (Or something to that effect.)
I can't recall where I had seen that though. I want to say it was in Bob and George as it was their style of humor, but I can't find where that had happened. I might be remembering wrong and it wasn't even from a webcomic, but that's my first guess.
Does this ring any bells? Anyone know where this was from?
