Begin by examining how data is structured on xkcd. xkcd provides data in a JSON format at a specific endpoint (e.g., `https://xkcd.com/info.0.json` for the current comic). Analyze this JSON to understand the keys and values, which will help in parsing the data later.

Install Python on your system if it isn't already installed. Create a virtual environment to manage dependencies separately. This will help you keep your project organized and prevent conflicts with other projects.

Write a Python script to fetch data from xkcd. You can use the `requests` library to make HTTP requests to the xkcd API. Parse the JSON response to extract the necessary data you want to send to RabbitMQ.

```python
import requests

response = requests.get('https://xkcd.com/info.0.json')
xkcd_data = response.json()
```

Download and install RabbitMQ on your local machine or server. Make sure to start the RabbitMQ server and check that it is running properly. Use the default settings or configure it according to your requirements (e.g., setting up users and permissions).

Use the `pika` library to interact with RabbitMQ in Python. Install it in your virtual environment with the command:

```bash
pip install pika
```

This library will allow you to publish messages to a RabbitMQ queue.

Write a Python script to connect to RabbitMQ and publish the xkcd data. You will need to establish a connection, create a channel, declare a queue, and then publish your message.

```python
import pika
import json

connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters('localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()

channel.queue_declare(queue='xkcd_queue')

xkcd_data_json = json.dumps(xkcd_data)
channel.basic_publish(exchange='', routing_key='xkcd_queue', body=xkcd_data_json)

print(" [x] Sent xkcd data to RabbitMQ")
connection.close()
```

Ensure that the data has been successfully transferred to RabbitMQ. You can write a simple consumer script using `pika` to read from the queue and print the messages to verify the data transfer.

```python
import pika

connection = pika.BlockingConnection(pika.ConnectionParameters('localhost'))
channel = connection.channel()

channel.queue_declare(queue='xkcd_queue')

def callback(ch, method, properties, body):
print(" [x] Received %r" % body)

channel.basic_consume(queue='xkcd_queue', on_message_callback=callback, auto_ack=True)

print(' [] Waiting for messages. To exit press CTRL+C')
channel.start_consuming()
```

Run this script to see the data being consumed from the queue, confirming the successful transfer from xkcd to RabbitMQ.
